The only album I know well enough to list here is Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory which is a belter! Having scanned down the best albums from the year on this website, there's quite a few I really should listen to or get to know better....

The best 2 albums from 1999 for me are The Spirit of Autumn Past by Mostly Autumn and Rajaz by Camel. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

That's a lot tougher than 1998. It really hurts to leave out Primus, Mr. Bungle, Opeth, and Anekdoten, who, based on my mood, could be in the top 10 on another day. The Godspeed You Black Emperor 1999 EP is pretty great, and Ui have a nice one, too (I realise that Ui are now on PA but their albums are not listed). Tarentel - From Bone to Satellite Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream Kong - FreakControl Salaryman - Karoshi Asmus Tietchens & Vidna Obmana - Motives for Recycling Sigur Ros - Ágćtis Byrjun Cardiacs - Guns David Sylvian - Dead Bees on a Cake Labradford - E Luxo So Camel - Rajaz

Black Emperor- Slow Riot For Zero Kanada Anekdoten- From Within Nebelnest- Nebelnest ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'd really struggle thinking of 10, so here's 5: 1. Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun 2. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2 3. Opeth - Still Life 4. Mr Bungle - California 5. Camel - Rajaz And a shout out to Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's Spanish Dance Troupe, even though it's not quite prog but I discovered recently and loved.
