^^^^^^^^
I can see why you havn't got M.D.K yet,Magma albums are not easy to get and are a small fortune, I think carefully b4 I purchase any of their stuff, mind you after Wurdah itah comes in I'll have all their studio albums except Kobiaia and Merci-(the latter which I probably won't get)

Indeed, and I'm a student so that makes matters even worse, to be honest I don't regret not getting M.D.K as I've bought plenty of other albums and never have problems finding something to listen to, but having said that I would like to keep increasing the size of my collection.

I actually found a vinyl copy of Comus' First Utterance today. I haven't decided whether or not I will buy it yet, as I'm not overly fond of the album (I have heard it). The "brag value" is very high though, and I might start to like it with further listens... What do you think?

The question you got to ask yourself, punk, is; "Is First utterance the best album of all?" Well, punk, it is. So yes, you should buy it. Next question!

Everyone knows the best album of all is Art Zoyd's Symphonie pour le Jour Où Brûleront les Cités. Wink

You've listed many albums that I own and love... "Absent Lovers" is a great live album, the two Rush CDs are among their best ever, and "Octopus" and "The Snow Goose", though completely different from each other, are real masterpieces of 'classic' Seventies prog.

However, what really impressed me in your 'to buy' list are the three wonderful BOC albums... I was listening to "Cultosaurus" this morning, in particular to one of their proggiest tracks ever, "Monsters". I'd love to add them, but I don't want to add fuel to the fire of controversy.Cry
