If you have Shub Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vite youhave the best one, the only other one I like is Introduction but it does share one track "Yog Sototh". I'd avoid the others

As I wrote in the previous post, the list contains only RIO albums. Of course I know Magma (how couldn't I know them?! Ouch), Shub Niggurath (only Les Morts Vont Vite but I'll check the other albums), Eskaton (only 4 Visions), Weidorje etc. Some time ago I started listenning to Koenjihyakkei's Angherr Shissipa and it is OK.

HolyMoly, thanks for Fred Frith recommendation, Gravity sounds great! Thumbs Up

^ Have you tried Fred Frith solo?  I highly recommend "Gravity", "Speechless", and "Step Across the Border" from his solo career.  The latter is a film soundtrack about Frith, and acts as a nice sampler of several of his projects.  The first two are fully realized band albums, as good as anything Cow did.

Could you give some recommendations for RIO/  Zeuhl? It is one of my favourite prog subgenres and I want to listen to more such a music. Via this thread I found e.g. Caillou and Atomic Ape and I really enjoy them. Below I wrote what I know from RIO:

Univers Zero - full discography
Art Zoyd -  all up to Berlin (chonologically)
Present - full
Etron Fuo Leloublan - Batelages
Henry Cow - full
Samla Mammas Manna - Maltid
Thinking Plague In Extremis
Uz Jsme Doma Uprostred Slov, Caves
Aranis Aranis
Miriodor Mekano
Atomic Ape Swarm
U Totem U Totem
Cardiacs  A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window 

Please suggest something. I want a lot of RIO music! LOL

I saw them a couple of years ago at RIO and they were really interesting, I haven't got round to picking anything up yet.

With Cardiacs, it's hard to go wrong with "A Little Man and A House ... ". It's probably my favorite and an excellent starting point. "On Land" is great, too, but a *lot* heavier and the production isn't as good IMO. Most people will tell you that "Sing to God" is their masterpiece; it took me a long time to get into it, but now I'm a huge fan. Still, the production makes it very fatiguing to listen to for long periods of time.

I'm a big fan of Present and becoming one of Cardiacs
 
My top choice after the first two Present is actually Barbaro as it has an absolutely stunning DVD included and the album is great but it may be a little on the pricey side, otherwise you can't go wrong with any of Certitudes, No6 or High Infidelity, all are very good.
 
My favorite three Cardiacs albums are A Little Man And A House..., On Land & In The Sea, and Songs For Ships & Irons

Re: Present, Absolutely. I agree with the above that the COD Performance isn't terribly necessary, unless you really really want to focus on the guitar work, but the other albums are full of excellent moments that are quintessentially Present.

Re: Cardiacs. I'm not the right man to answer that question. Nevertheless...the only one I slightly enjoyed was On Land And In The Sea.

Can't really go wrong with Present.  I'd say "COD Performance" is less recommendable as its a bit stripped down and doesn't feel complete.  "Certitudes", however, if my favorite album by them and highly recommended, as is the live album from the accompanying American tour (which I got to see!) "A Great Inhumane Adventure".  There's another album of theirs I don't have yet, and someone will probably chime in and say that one's the best.  As good as their early stuff is, I think their potency only increased with time - more aggressive and cranky, if you get my drift.
