Nice collection Andrea and I suppose that the quality of the sound must be great since it was released in 2005.

Their best albums are:

Tanz Der Lemminge (their most progressive effort and one of the best albums ever made), if you find the Repertoire resmatered cd, buy it Andrea and I promiss you that you wont regret it.

Yeti, their second album is also very fine with the Soap Shop Rock as the starter and it continues in that way throughout the whole album, if you bought Tanz Der Lemminge and like it you will need this aswell. 

Phallus Dei, what I guess is latin for 'God's Penis'... their first and very solid work, not as good as the two above albums though if the Tanz and Yeti are "5-stars albums" then 'Phallus' is a 4.5 so it's lightyears from crap.

'Live In London' is also very good.

'Wolf City' is great, almost a classic.

'Carnival In Babylon', here the band begins to "drop" a bit though not bad at all.

I can only recommend you the double album 'Made In Germany' witch came in 1975, read reviews for this since it's more like a strange concept-rock-opera-something 

 

The rest of their studio works, forget it since there's both fill-out tracks and stinkers, some loaded with this kind of sh*t...

Thanks a lot, Krauthead!

What about Vive La Trance or Vortex?

Last time I heard Vortex it was so so, not bad but not a classic.

Vive La Trance is not much of a "spin-worthy" album, the cover looks kind of cool and some of the songs are ok, but it leans more towards mainstream and pop... that's words that came across my mind when listening to it the last time, if you have all the albums that came before this and have money over and nowhere to spend them, give it a shot!

Again, Vortex and "VLT" are not rich of progressive moments nor highlights, but that's me...

To be precise: You won't cry for bying them, but do yourself a favor and go with the earlier albums.

Sounds cool Andrea, if you want more information then check here for soundfiles, I guess they have for most of their early work: (www.amazon.de), or read some reviews here mate

Back to the Moodies

 

Seventh sojourn is a strong pop/rock album but not particularly prog, By then the Moodies had been left well behind by others.

Side One has some 4 excellent songs by the 4 different songwriters in the band. Side 2 starts vibrantly but the second track living in the land of make believe is a bit of a tiredl dirge. It picks up again with Pinders When you're a free man and finishes with I'm a Singer which is ok but not as good as the earlier Lodge rocker Ride my Seesaw on In the Search of the lost Chord.
