I think that both Fairyport and Being share that Scandinavian sound through which they sifted both jazz and progressive... but I choose Fairyport because I feel that supernatural air more present in it. But it's like my favorite Zeppelin album, it changes over the years.

There you go, I didn't know that had a UK release or else I would have put it in the poll.  I don't think any of his other solo stuff did.

The reason I included Pekka Pohjola's albums is because I felt that if I limited the poll to just Wigwam, it would be too niche and not attract much attention.  I have included his Virgin albums only - I thought about Jim Pembroke's solo albums as well but I think their release was limited to Finland.

That said, B the Magpie means more to me than any Wigwam album, I'm devoted to it.

Well, with the sad passing of Jim Pembroke over the weekend, the album I reached for was 'Lucky Golden Stripes...'
RIP Jim Pembroke

While I like most of the Wigwam releases; Pekka gets my vote. It's a masterpiece, and if you can find some of his later jazz fusion videos get ready to be blown away.
