I'm a minority of (one) Soft Machine-fans one who loves Fourth as much as Third. For me all perfect: Soft Machine - Fourth Moving Gelatine Plates - Moving Gelatine Plates Supersister - To the Highest Bidder Close to perfection (perfect on their own terms I guess): Daevid Allen's Gong - Camembert Electrique Egg - The Polite Force Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Just OK: Daevid Allen - Banana Moon |

Around the dreaming spires of Canterbury, there's no Grey area regarding who's going to win this poll, as Caravan are already clearly in the Pink!

| The tough choices keep coming so again, first love. This time, 'Camembert Electrique' bought for a princely 55p from Virgin records in Nottingham. 'Banana Moon' followed not long after. |

I used to shop at Virgin Records (on King Street) in Nottingham too. The last album I bought from there was Renaissance' Azure d'Or in 1979 after listening to it first on one of their in-store turntables. Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end.....

Yes, we used to do the same in there. I am not sure what the last thing was I bought from there but I used to head straight for their dedicated Virgin label rack when I went in.

I remember when Richard Branson turned up for the grand opening of the huge Virgin Megastore on Wheeler Gate in Nottingham. I didn't recognise him at first as he was wearing black-rimmed spectacles, which didn't really suit him. He should have gone to Specsavers.  Richard Branson in Baywatch. No acting required as he was playing the part of himself. |

Interesting that you removed Robert Wyatt's debut album after somebody voted for it. Not the best album on the list but certainly better than the 1 star that you offered. Sometimes certain musical expressions require a great deal of time to comprehend. Personally i think that Moving Gelatine Plates is the ultimate expression of prog in every form. One of my fave albums of ALL time :)

I didn't remove Robert Wyatt's debut. It's still there in the previous 1970 poll.

| In situations like this, I went with first love - that is Camembert Electrique. Notable is Soft Machine's Fourth, which was Wyatt's last with the band. Some might argue that a lot of Canterbury left with him although Hopper and Ratledge remained. The slow fade of 'Virtually' on side 2 almost sounds like Wyatt silently leaving. A great album. |
