Phallus Dei is also one of my favorite ADII albums. There is a strong trance-folk-esque feel of it that no other album repeats. Obviously, Tanz and Yeti are also phenomenal albums, but this one has that very "scary" pagan feel, that just wins me. "Luzifer's Ghilom" is one of my top ADII tracks.
Kobaia and 1001 Centigrades is probably when the Coltrane influence was the strongest. Great albums. As a side note, I've just found out that Magma's logo is based on the shape of a bracelet of the African tribe Coltrane's ancestors came from. Very interesting, I think.

Yesterday:

Keith Jarrett - Birth Very nice album! It's what I would call avant-garde post-bop for the most part and it's really enjoyable. The second piece, which features a wah-wah upright bass (amazing sound), is especially fantastic. The free-form parts are also quite successful.

Botany - Deepak Verbera I've been really digging Botany's music recently. This is his newest release, which FACT Magazine described as a mixture of Alice Coltrane and Popol Vuh. And this is it. This album is really good, very meditative, calm, and relaxing yet if you dig deeper into the music, you might find it's very deep.

Oh well I have the same problem with Dolly Parton - great gal but horrendous music (bar Jolene of course). I've ordered Hubris solely based on what you guys have written in this thread. Sounds too good to be true to these electronic infatuated ears Yesterday: Dungen - Häxan (Dungen finds out about the mellotron and puts it to good use) Vangelis - Rosetta (Best album I've heard from the Greek in a looooooooong while)

I can understand that. For me it depends very much on my mood, I either find it really annoying or enjoy a lot. That works for the Beard as well. Transatlantic even on the right mood, I don't like much for some reason.

Tangerine Dream - Atem It's a scary album. Very dark, cold, swampy. I really liked it. I have this nice 1976 2LP Virgin gatefold pressing of this album together with Alpha Centauri on the other disc, which I picked up very cheaply. Though I prefer the latter, this is an amazing album still. The atmosphere is really unique on here.

Eberhard Weber - Yellow Fields Gotta love some Eberhard Weber on winter mornings. Every single one of his 70's album is delightful and stunningly beautiful. This one is no different. Fantastic electric piano work here, great sax by Charlie Mariano, and obviously wonderful sounds from Eberhard Weber himself.

Dexter Wansel - Life on Mars I rarely go to the funky side of jazz, but I really like this album. It has some very elegant moments, as well as light cheesy-ness typical of the 70's funk-jazz, but it has some spacier moments. It's great. "Rings of Saturn" is an incredible piece, really, really stunning.

Oren Ambarchi - Hubris Sam, it is a great album, thanks for talking about it, I doubt I would have encountered it anytime soon. I really like how, for a big part, it uses "traditional" electro-acoustic instrumentation for this unexplainable musical nectar.

Marshall Tucker Band - A New Life - The first of three consecutive masterpieces from these top tier Southern Rock legends. Man, I can't get over how much soul these guys have. Every one of their songs is a piece of Americana; a romantic time capsule of the America of yesteryear, with genuine grit to it. Fantastic, fantastic stuff, and this is probably my favourite from their vast discography of classics.  

Queen - A Night at the Opera
