If you don't already have "Relayer" then, by all means, get it. Don't know enough about the others you listed to give you an educated opinion. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

You must own Godbluff. I will probably be stoned to death for saying this, but Relayer is one of my least favorite Yes albums. The Gates of Delirium is great. The rest, IMO, is disposable. Unorthodox Behavior is also a winner. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

I think Unorthodox, Faust IV, Relayer and Godbluff at least are more essential than Megadeth and Death, even though I love those bands. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Godbluff and Faust IV are must haves. I haven't heard the others though,except Relayer. So make that Relayer, Godbluff and Faust IV + one album of your choice.

Godbluff, Relayer, Unorthodox Behaviour, Faust IV, Visions of the Emerald Beyond
Godbluff and Relayer are essential prog records to a good collection...get them as soon as possible, Unorthodox Behaviour is a great fusion record so add that one when you can.

That's 6, i'm getting 5. (Can't spend too much birthday money on just one order  )
Testament's songs sounds pretty much the same, but some are interesting. And since i'm looking for something less-known, i thought "WHAT THE HELL!"

Testament aren't really less known though, not in the thrash movement at least ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Add these to the list:
Dark Angel - Time does not Heal
Gong - Gazeuse
And i'm ordering them later, since my parents are away this weekend (I can't order myself, you have to be 18
 ) |

Gazeuse is essential!
As for Dark Angel, Darkness Decends is essential if you want more brutal thrash. Time Does Not Heal is more in the tech-thrash vein and their most mature. They're both excellent although I've only heard TDNH entirely through. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour
Faust - Faust IV
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions of the Emerald Beyond
Dark Angel - Time does not Heal
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
I think it'll be like that ^ (Only 305kr ($43) total
