^ I didn't know Atila, it's really good!

I'll balance the list with more Portuguese Prog, in order of preference:
Quarteto 1111 - Onde Quando Como Porquê Cantamos Pessoas Vivas (1975)
Banda do Casaco - Hoje Há Conquilhas Amanhã Não Sabemos (1977)
Jorge Palma - Com uma Viagem na Palma da Mão (1975)
Petrus Castrus - Ascensão e Queda (1978)
Ananga Ranga - Regresso às Origens (1979)

I rediscovered Area thanks to the Italian lists, I like it very much now. I wasn't ready for it when I started listening to RPI. The same for Banco, my appreciation for their music grew in the past year.

Btw, that's quite understandable, as those two albums are more of my personal favourites than generally much appreciated, but I've removed them now from my list to make it more stricktly in line with my OP.

Bruford Freak- You listed PFM's L'Isola Dinente twice. Did you mean for Storia Di Un Minuto to be on there somewhere?

I don't know the story, but it's a pity. Some good contribution and it was interesting with genuine "new" blood and sometimes more-edgy posts - not that I've seen all of them.

Actually, there're a couple of very significant differences in the OPs, Drew, and so will it be further on compared to some of my previous threads - I don't like to repeat myself, either. Anyway, it's everybody's own choice to what degree follow my listing - I actually haven't asked for any this time - and there'll surely be some decisions to make. Smile

Yes, recorded in 1978, but not released until 1981 so whether it counts as a '70s album, it's a matter of choice - but definitely much appreciated. Wink



I had thought when you wrote "Eskaton   4 Visions   (1979, 1981)" that it might had an initial limited release of 1979. I'm fine with thinking of it as a 70s album due to the recording date, by the way. I generally am more interested in recording date than released date with archival releases, such as recorded in 1968, released in 2015.
