You totally SHOULD vote yes for Kitaro! His first few albums are real deal prog-electronic discs as worthy of inclusion as many artists under that banner on here, even if they are gentle discs (but there's a MASSIVE difference between `gentle electronic' and `wishy washy overly pretty New-Age')

Carry on!

^ i'm struggling over it actually.

BTW, has there ever been discussion towards the "every album" inclusion of discographies? Maybe now that the site has grown perhaps albums like Judas Priest's Nostradamus could be included without including every other non-prog album. I understand that would entail an individual labeling practice for each and every album but something that would make the site a tad truer to its objectives IMHO

Oh forgotten to say ... they've been rejected before I got to be an Admin, and I consider (as an Admin who follows ex-Admins' footsteps) they cannot be added ... sincerely.

Yes, many years ago. If memory serves, categorically rejected due to required massive database overhaul. I was one who thought (and continues to be thinkin) it a good idea...but very much understanding the difficulty it would entail.

I've long wanted there to be an album-based category like, or a part of, Various Artists for albums deemed Prog by artists that are considered problematic due to discography concerns. Two of my faves for such a category have been William Sheller's Lux Aeterna and Donald Byrd's Electric Byrd. That would be a pretty easy thing to implement, although it could be problematic.
