All their albums are 4 stars and up, but I prefer their later work: Gravity, A Time of Day and Until All the Ghosts Are Gone, the latter being one of the best albums of 21st century prog.

when saying that, would you say Nucleus is a notch above???Clap or below the others?ConfusedOuchShocked
 
Personally I find Gravity their lesser album, followed bu AtoD then From Within.

The only downside of this one (and their last few) is no more cello!  Cry
 
if memory serves, there was a (small) bit of cello in the previous aToD album... Yeah, I also miss the cello, but I think ASD got some heat for not playing it well (it was fine enough forme, though) in their early albums. So she may be a bit psychologically blocked in that direction.
 
But the new one is definitely in my faves after Nucleus and the debut...
 
I adore the closing lengthy intrumental with theo Travis' sax and flute.

While their vocals can sometimes be tiresome, they're unique and fit the music perfectly. 
Personally I am a fan of both of their singers.

cannot understand why Anekdoten as not gotten a thread here on progarchives.com so here I`ve started one so anyone else enjoy the heavy aggressive at times symphonic, moody, melancholy progressive rock band. six great albums filled with two mellotron players and cello. LOL
