In Camera to Nadir's Big Chance is another one that comes to mind. If we count Peter Hammill and VDGG together, then Nadir and Godbluff are worlds apart!

Tangerine Dream sounds like three different bands with three consecutive releases:
Cyclone (1978) (vocals, woodwinds, Mellotron, Rhodes, synths, guitars, drumkit) Force Majeure (1979) (acoustic piano, synths, guitar, cello, drumkit) Tangram (1980) (synths, guitar, electronic percussion) |

I don't know about biggest, but to go with two albums I love in PA, I think that Radiohead's OK Computer to Kid A was a significant shift.

No, Music for Supermarkets is unique amongst JMJ albums, but not in a good way.

'Music for Supermarkets' is an album with a strange history. it seems JMJ does not want to have to do anything with it.

Vangelis, every album compared to Invisible Connections (maybe Beaubourg is a bit closer)

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Well, Magnetic Fields being his 3rd album, the inference is that you're referring to anything after that as sounding like 'Music for Supermarkets' otherwise you'd have mentioned the last album you enjoyed?

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

A bit unfair Paul. Zoolook is not everyone's cup of tea but very creative and original. I've also always had a liking for Rendez-Vous, not so much Revolutions or Cousteau but Chronology is quite good... certainly very hit and miss after that, I'd agree.

^ true, but then again Pink Floyd was trying to do something different with every release.

Will add:
Ambrosia - Somewhere I've Never Travelled to Life Beyond LA and more 'snap' to crap... Starcastle - Citadel to Real to Reel Angel - S/T - Helluva Band to On Earth As It Is In Heaven (I believe it is this "progression/degression" that keeps them out of ProgArchives. The first two records are great!)

In the case of Van der Graaf Generator, there were a number of distinct changes: The Aerosol Grey Machine to The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Pawn Hearts to Godbluff World Record to The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome Although a 28 year interval: The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome to Present A Grounding In Numbers to ALT ALT to Do Not Disturb Actually, there wasn't such a big change from A Grounding In Numbers to Do Not Disturb, just that ALT was an odd one out in the middle.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Could also add Genesis W&W to ATTWT and from Duke to Abacrap Rush from Hemispheres to Permanent Waves and from Pictures (or Signals) to GUP
You could say that for Procol with Edmonton & Grand Hotel, I guess But anyways from DP's s/t (mkI) to In Rock (mk2) would do it. . Edited by Sean Trane - April 08 2025 at 07:50 |

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Even from the self-titled last album with Rod Evans to In Rock. (Concerto was a once and done experiment, also a live album) |
