The first National Health album for me

No major albums, just Missing Pieces album(s), but that's not important as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not very interested in the Stewart / Gaskin albums either.

For me: One Of A Kind.

More in general:

  1. The Bruford albums
  2. The National Health albums
  3. The Hatfield and the North albums

You missed "Fish Rising" by Steve Hillage. Stewart has one of his best solos in the passage "Hiram Aftaglid Meets the Dervish" from the track "Solar Musick Suite".
Stewart also appears on 2 tracks on "Open" by Steve Hillage.
There is also "Afters" by Hatfield and the North, an album with unreleased tracks.

I like all Dave Stewart's albums, it's difficullt to choose just one album from this list.

Anyway, i voted for EGG - "EGG".

Open by Steve Hillage also featured the other Dave Stewart of Eurhythmics fame, if I remember rightly. Not one of Hillage's better efforts.

I voted for Rotter's Club, because Mumps is my favourite of his large scale compositions.

Of those I've heard,  my favorite album on which DS appears would be One Of A Kind, followed by National Health and Fish Rising. 

I was fortunate enough to see DS perform with Bruford twice around the time of the release of Gradually Going Tornado.
So much music. So little time.

Rotter's Club for me too, but it's very close ... put it this way ... every album he's on that I've reviewed for the site got the same number of stars! (4)

Yes, I left out those S. Hillage albums on purpose, as they are definately hillage albums and not stewart albums.  The same argument could be made for Khan as well, but I feel that has more of a D. Stewart feel to it than later Hillage works.

I think "Arzachel" [1969] is good example of Steward's greatness. This album is fantastic: full of climatical atmosphere, full of keyboards, full of darkness...

My friend once said "Arzachel" had been recorded in Ukrainian caves. Was he right?
