Of Gong I highly recommend "You", which in my opinion contains the best drumming ever. Listening to the drums in "Master Builder" just blew me away, and I wanted to become a drummer too (and succeeded). The other musicians are no slouches either, and when they jam the music just flows and flows.

The best there is Drama. One of my all time favs. You already said your interested so I won't elaborate cept to say go ahead and get the remaster. It actually has tracks that they worked on with Jon and Rick. I gotta say it... Im glad as hell Rick left at that time, he was in high cheese form.

 There is a reason a tomato is splattered all over the cover of Tormato. Onward is pretty but short, On the silent wings of freedom Is actually pretty cool but the rest is very much on the crappy side imo. It also has the worst yes song ever.

 Gaucho imo is not Steely Dans best work. It does have a few nice songs. I'll assume you have some others by them, if not try them first. I'd say by this used, not worth a premium price.

   Baldfriede, Olias of Sunhillow  is One of my favs. I like what ya said about it but I will have to add ( to possibly warn others ) that it is probably the first new age album.   To those wondering about it don't let that scare you. If you like spacey atmospherics you'll like. it also has great and grand melodies.

Eloy: the power and the passion.- Primitive, predictable and boring. Not a single song shows the spark that appeared in their space albums. I would even dare to say that Metromania is a better purchase than this one.

Primus: Sailing the seas of cheese is a better work if compared to Frizzle Fry, wich is somewhat too long a derivative sometimes. But I truly believe that Primus is a colateral effect of the "Comercial album" by the Residents.

Yes: Tormato.- If someone yells horrible things at you, that's better than listening to tormato.

Yes: Drama.- sounds like one of those meals you can eat anyway, but covered with tons of mustard and other sauces. Only as an 80's consolation item.
