Heck, I never realized it but I think this just might be one of my favourite years in music (not exclusively prog) ever. 1. Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance 2. Cardiacs - Sing To God 3. Mats/Morgan - Trends And Other Diseases 4. Allan Holdsworth - None Too Soon 5. D.F.A. - Lavori In Corso 6. King Crimson - THRaKaTTaK 7. Ut Gret - Time Of The Grets 8. Bob Drake - Little Black Train 9. Nels Cline Trio - Chest 10. Vangelis - Oceanic Honourable mentions (I'm not including these only because they were recorded long before this particular year; the first two might have topped the list otherwise): * National Health - Missing Pieces * Frank Zappa - The Lost Episodes * Soft Machine - Spaced * Alan Gowen & Hugh Hopper - Bracknell-Bresse Improvisations ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

One of my favourite years in music. The Stereolab is not in PA, but I consider it to be a kind of Crossover album with Krautrock (Neu! and can) elements (Prog Related at least to me) and Broadcast I consider somewhat related for any art and psych elements. Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup* Broadcast - The Book Lovers* Art Zoyd - Faust (I usually think of it as a 1995 release) Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind Current 93 - All the Pretty Little Horses Cardiacs - Sing to God Zypressen - Zypressen Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance Bondage Fruit - Bondage Fruit II Bonus: Cozmic Corridors - Cozmic Corridors and Miriodor - Jongleries Élastiques Eels - Beautiful Freak as a little non-Prog bonus. |
