| I have 13 of these titles listed here, and my pick (amongst some stiff competition - MGP, SMM, JDdG, Supersister, Spring) goes to Ash Ra Tempel's phenomenal debut. |

Comus First Utterance is a masterpiece.

| One of the best years in music. I couldn't reach anything resembling a real decision so I just voted for Popol Vuh. |

Curved Air or Wigwam ? This is the question.

Lots of very good albums, but none really stand out for me  I voted Ash Ra Tempel (followed by Matching Mole, Faust, Comus, Popol Vuh, etc.)

Matching Mole over Faust over 2/3 of the list. ------------- 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. |

Great list here, i'm going with Moving Gelatine Plates debut but man Ash Ra Tempel, Comus, Polyphony and Matching Mole could easily have been my pick. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Several excellent lp's up there but I have always had a soft spot for that Spring thing.
A bit surprised at all the love for Comus.....it was one of the first cd;s I picked up when I started to get into more obscure prog about 20 years ago. I always found it a challenge to get into and downright annoying at times. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Lot's of great options, in which only my mood can make a decision. Since my current state of mind is pretty light, airy and ready for some fun involving friends & booze, I'll go with Curved Air. My favorite of theirs with lots of catchy stuff. |

Nektar is probably one-eyed among the blind here.
Although this isn't their best album at all. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |
