I'm not a fan of Halloween although most consider it their best. Love the first two though. Actually the first two are more Psychedelic while Halloween is more Symphonic i believe.Big smile

PLJ all the way!! I really like that album, quite an obscure jam that would appeal to a lot of people around here. I really haven't heard it in a long time, I'm gonna play it tomorrow....I hope.

Also I'm surprised to see Polyphony doing so well. I personally am not too impressed by the album, it has some really good psyched stuff but some mediocare and amateurish stuff too. I think their drummer didn't fit the music so well which kinda made the overall playing a little sloppy. I think a harder edged drummer would make a huge difference, but don't get me wrong I do like it and play it some times.

Sotos and Shub are definitely Cool

Thanks for the comments Sagi. Now i'm afraid to play Polyphony 'cause i'm going to focus on the drums.LOL 
Nice to see the votes spread out. Heck no one has commented on The United States Of America(no not the counrty) but they are getting some attention. You'd almost have to read my review to appreciate the history of it and those involved. names like John Cage, Yoko Ono, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Don Ellis etc. A cool story and album that is very 60's sounding yet it's not all flowers and peace as we get the experimental and avant-garde side too.

I thought about commenting on it because I do know it and have it.  It's an extremely important album in the development of electronic music, kind of like Silver Apples.  Strange stuff, kind of halfway between pop and avant garde.  I've found it hard to get into though.

I have the Sotos album.  I seem to remember enjoying it, but have not listened to it in quite a while.

You know i've read Mike Rutsey's columns for years in the Sports pages never knowing he was John's brother.
They didn't show the photo in the on-line version but in the paper yesterday they had a picture of Geddy at the Jays opening day game in 2002 in Toronto where i believe he's a seasons ticket holder.
