It's Friday night! Man I like all of these albums a lot. I guess Weidorje and Guapo standout but I'd be happy picking any of these. Happy weekend every one! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Hmmmmm...these are all on the infrequently listened list. Probably my 3rd least favorite Magma album. I guess it would be Weidorje. Actually not familiar with Vak...or don't remember them. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Guapo's is a masterpiece. Weidorje's and Magma are great. Zao's is pretty good. I could live without the others if honest. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Guapo's epic monster-masterpiece over my favorite Zao-album. Weidorje is nice as well but I never actually listen to it. VAK sounds almost like a (brilliant) tribute band so lacking a little in the personality/originality-department. I guess Pseu didn't bring anything new to the table either - but quite enjoyable darkly-tinged fun. Sl*g Tanz is just one really expensive (great) song that would have made the short Felicite Thosz-album a semi-classic had it been included there instead.

John, just like you didn't choose Setna's best album, you're also not doing it for Vak.  |

Five Suns was my first experience of 21st century avant-prog, and the start of a long road of discovery. I still think it's a masterpiece. I can't not vote for it. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

The toughest one yet! Went with Sl*g Tanz over Osiris. (Not a fan of the Weirdorje album.) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

| Guapo for me. Five Suns is outstanding. |

I guess your talking about Vak's new one which I haven't heard. I have the other Setna but prefer this one.  No accounting for taste is there? ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

That Magma EP is great! The title track is so intense. This is the first poll to surprise me with Guapo doing way better than I thought. Love it though it's one of my favourite albums period. Not sure why I put it in the same poll with Weidorje who I thought would win this. Those two are in my top ten Zeuhl albums for sure. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Always appreciate the thoughts. Pseu clicked with me even with those theatrical vocals although there's not a lot of them. Love their instrumental work mostly. I think I'm in the minority with my feeling for that one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Vak's Budo is probably the top 2018 album, AFAIAC  ... Please indulge ASAP, it's a big hit with many PE-'ers. It's got a Guerison and Scherzoo 03 resonance to my ears. Of course, you're entitled to preferring Cycle 1, it was my choice on your poll.

Man I so agree with you, still wondering how I put those two albums against each other. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Nice list. The Potemkine pick in particular interests me, I have Triton (excellent) but never heard Foetus. Will have to fix that. EDIT: Well that quote didn't work too well! But not sure what to do about it. I'm not editing it by hand! ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.
