Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On
Hall and Oates - Abandoned Luncheonette
Tom Tom Club - Dark Sneak Love Action

^Nice list!

I just added Joy Division, cranking it loud.  Not bad!

If you haven't heard it, check out New Order's very first album called Movement. It often gets bad reviews but in my opinion it's amazing. It's very similar to Joy Division, quite different from New Order's later, more famous songs.

I'll check it out, thanks King O

Archaia - Archaia. Diving deeper into zeuhl! I did not like this one all that much, although I was able to notice its virtues. I think the lack of drums and use of bells and smaller percussion instruments is a bold experiment, especially in zeuhl, where rhythm is a crucial aspect, but I did not particularly like it. In my book, it comes closer to Rock In Opposition rather than zeuhl. Nonetheless, it's a very decent album!
Dzyan - Time Machine. This is the first Dzyan album I've ever listened to and it was a pretty interesting experience. I am not always a fan of Indian influences in krautrock, but I think Dzyan have really succeeded with this one. I especially liked the intricate theme of "Magika." Man, it's pretty good now that I'm thinking.
Klaus Schulze - Mirage. Had to listen to this one once more. Really, such a refreshing journey. And imagine what imaginary landscapes your mind could create with this music if the cover was actually nice. I mean, it's not hideous, but I don't think it goes in par with the excellence of the music.
Eskaton - 4 Visions. Another one I had to come back to. This is my #1 zeuhl album so far. It just does something to me. You know what I mean? there are just some albums that make you want to be a part of the sound wave coming out of your speakers. And here the cover reflects the mood of the music perfectly! Love it!
Popol Vuh - Affenstunde. I might be in a minority, but I prefer Popol Vuh's electronic era to their acoustic, ethnic stuff. I just don't get why it gets such low ratings! I think it's fantastic. This is how I like my ambient... And those soft sounds of the Minimoog! The title track ist wunderbar! Quite a journey!

This was my day!

Is that the latest Electric Orange album, Sam? I was considering buying it, pretty sure it's only on vinyl at this point?

How did you go with thet Mo-Du disc? I'm definitely going to jump on one of the CD's of that one.

King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon

Yes, it is and it's really good. They have it on CD on Bandcamp:
