Heard them all but the new Plague and the Seffer (never heard any of the Zao solo stuff). Here's my ranking of the rest:
Jannick Top Popol Vuh Zao Pinhas
T Dream Ozrics P Tree Floyd (was always one of my least favs of theirs)

Have to go with Obscured by Clouds since I only know that one and Voyager 34 and the latter isn't to my tastes.

Thinking Plague - probably album of the year for me & I've seen them perform significant chunks of it twice.

I've ordered Shekina for xmas so I'll delay voting til I've heard it. But of the other ones, right now it's looking to be Pinhas, PT, and Ozrics as my tops (Of the ones I"ve heard)

Think I'll have to sleep on it. I loooove Obscured by Clouds and I find it to be grossly overlooked, yet I don't think it needs my vote in this poll....
May just have to vote for one of the odd curiosities inside the big sprawling Krautrock world. That Popol Vuh album is a real treat, and it is one of the only symphonic Kraut albums I've ever come across.
I also very much enjoy what just might be The Ozrics most progressive outing.
I don't have that Seffer one, but I've got his IMA which is just breathtaking. Thanks for reminding me about him John.
Like I said, I think I'll sleep on this...

I'm giving my vote to Jannick Top. I haven't listened to it in a while, but I enjoy it a lot. I actually know almost all of these albums too, quite a departure for me. I even have that Yoch'kp Seffer album. And I have a high regard for that new Thinking Plague album. But I feel like shooting for the Top tonight. Take me to the Top!

Cool to see you and Holy Moly pick Top here. I love both of his solo albums and this one is excellent. On "De Futura" he has Richard Pinhas on guitar which is amazing. But my favourite might be the intense "Mekanik Machine" with the MAGMA boys helping out including Christian Vander, Klaus Blasquisz, Claude Olmos and Patrick Gauthier. I'll have a hard time not picking this one.

Quoted right out of the liner notes on the 62 minute expanded Voyage 34 version.  I think i first heard this on the Stars Die compilation.

Let's call that a short nap...
I decided to go for Popol Vuh. Maybe it's just my mood lately, but I find so much 'meaning' in these albums. I also used to paint and draw a lot to this one.

Ahhh from "Wots...Uh The Deal". Man i love the mood and sound of that record. There's a couple of albums on this list i like more but i am a huge fan of this one.
Oh and thanks Scott for voting. What the heck happened to the Lions this year. They sure have some very high end pieces but obviously need help in places.

I know. I love that about it. It's so obvious and in your face.
I really dig the album and the vibe they had back then.

"Coily" is my favourite song from that one but the title track is really good too.

I would have been surprised if you didn't vote for that one, i've seen you praise this a lot. Love how upfront Dave Willey's bass is.
