^ nice to see Enchant in your list, I forgot about them. Embarrassed

I just remembered Devin Townsend released Ocean Machine in 1997, that's an excellent album (IMO).

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

2. Bjork - Homogenic
3. Radiohead - OK Computer
4. Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale 
5. Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine: Biomech

7. Spastic Ink - Ink Complete
8. IQ - Subterranea 
9. Sigur Ros - Von
10. Sadist - Crust (extremely underrated technical/progressive death metal, although I prefer their Tribe album)

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

My only memory of the year 1997 is of me driving my tricycle into a lake. Luckily my dad pulled me out of the water in time, or else I wouldn't have been able to enjoy all the undoubtedly wonderful prog albums of 1998!

1. Mats/Morgan - The Music Or The Money...
2. David Bowie - Earthling
3. Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy
4. Tipographica - Floating Opera
5. Volaré - The Uncertainty Principle
6. Björk - Homogenic
7. Harpy - Do Not Eat
8. Happy Family - Toscco
9. Brand X - Manifest Destiny
10. Koenjihyakkei - Viva Koenji!
