^^ oh, you've got enough Cardiacs fans in here to help you here Greg, although as you know, I'm afraid I'm not one of them.. I was surprised the Vangelis choice was taken up as quickly as it was, for which we have John to thank.
I think you chose correctly with TaaB; it's their masterpiece and after all... there's only so many times the Hare can lose his spectacles, isn't there?

While Cardiacs is quite the Marmite band, it has had its vocal appreciators at this forum. I love those albums and figured some others might be enthusiastic enough about them to want to respond ere very long. From my POV, if anyone wishes to jump in and skip my dynamic duo to answer the Jethro Tull question and then list their own two, I would be fine with that. Maybe some would like to answer mine later when/ if this topic stalls. That's up to the game-master (aka the OP), I guess. Sometimes these topics just don't get momentum when the forum is not busy and it might elicit more of the JFF crowd (and their numbers have diminished). Anyway, some might choose before long, but I just wanted to put this out there. While I would not want to be the one that leads to the death of this topic, worse, I would not wish to see those wondrous albums be the death of this topic.

Do you wish to take the Tull challenge, Cristi, or are you passing the torch?

Yeah, these were my first listens of both and I don't think I can craft a worthy opinion without a few more spins. Not really my style - reminded me of Porcupine Tree, but the production of Trace just propelled this one for me. Sorry Cristi

I love both of those Vangelis releases John, I find the quality very even between the two overall, which is why I paired them, but you are right, SF is a beautifully delicate piece of work... quite delightful.
I will let someone else have a go on the BJH, because I've written something for you in the Febus thread...

I personally love the first 7 MB albums and these two are very even in quality, but I think I'd take Threshold by a wafer thin margin... on the basis that it could change back again in 6 months?
