I like them all but then I'm a fanboy. There are two live albums (Live & Relaps) and four studio albums in their post hiatus period. Of the studio albums I'd personally rank them Clivages, Implosion, Rythmix, Hard Quest, with Clivages as worthy as the earlier albums, the other three less so but still good. Both live albums are excellent.

Nice, can't wait to check them all out. Thanks man

Ian knows Univers Zero as well as anyone. If you can get ahold of Crawling Wind it's not only worth it for the incredible music but there's a very detailed history of the band in the liner notes that I found invaluable. For what it's worth I would pick heatwave as my fav followed by Uzed and Implosion. And Relaps kills as far as a live album goes. Amazing band !

Congrats on discovering the world of PH/VDGG! If you stick to any VDGG 70's albums you can't go wrong (though many would caution you away from "The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome"...though I love that one too  ). Mining the PH solo catalog is much more hazardous. He's so prolific that there are a few lemons out there...besides the excellent "Silent Corner..." you already have, "Fool's Mate", "Chameleon in the Shadow of Night", and "In Camera" are all great next steps. Most of his solo albums are filled with guest appearances from former VDGG members anyway making a blurry line between his solo work and VDGG.

<span style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">I have just purchased the following 3 albums 'H to He, Who Am The Only One', 'Godbluff' and 'Still Life'</span><div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">I've only just listened to 'Godbluff' and I can already say that it's their best album. An excellent listen, I would listen to it again, but I want to listen to the other 2. <div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;"><div style=": rgb248, 248, 252;">Let's hope the other 2 are just as good  |
And may I say that ARROW off Goldbluff is an absolutely incredible track! Took a few listens, but it grew on me like crazy. Also. Have you heard FORSAKEN GARDEN ? It's another emotional, poetic masterpiece that was actually a bonus track on the GOLDBLUFF reissue.

To be honest I'm not usually into live albums, with a couple exceptions. I would be interested in the history though. Sounds like their a really consistent band! that's extremely rare

Well this may or may not count, but I've known about PENDRAGON for a long time now and it's really this year (2013) where I've really started to love and really appreciate their music.
You can call it a discovery or even a breakthrough for that matter, 2013 really marks the year I truly dig the Dragon. ;)

I've also known "of" them for a long time (early 90s) but never listened to them until I got Passion in 2011. Now I'm a pretty big fan. BTW, I have to ask this, do you know that the VDGG album you're talking about is GODBLUFF, not GOLDBLUFF?

Yeah. Oh man I did it again...twice! Lol. Yes yes. Godbluff. That would make more sense. ;)
Also. Glad to hear Pendragon has worked with you as well, sound wise.
Have you heard their live album Out of order comes Chaos ? It's really good. :)
