They're mostly instrumental. Some albums have vocals... like Cyclone, Tyger, and the La Divina trilogy. I think there are some other sparse vocal moments.

I've already replied.

Maybe I can nudge aside Stratosfear, because it's not quite the most obvious masterpiece by TD (but it's got lots of hidden gem-spots, nonetheless), but choosing between Phaedra, Ricochet and Rubycon. I can't do it!

Well, technically, my namesake is of course my favourite and my soul album, but it's which classic TD is brighter than the other classic TD in this case, and I have to resume to being an uber-fanboy.

Can't say I blame you. I haven't chosen yet either; I'm not sure if I'll be able to pick.

They're rarely vocal, yes. Cyclone was heavily controversial because of this, but every TD connoisseur actually agrees that the album kicks ass, and the lamentation over under 10 minutes of vocalisation is aberant, once Madrigal Meridian starts.

La Divina Commedia is very well-conceived too, vocal-instrumentally. Perhaps only Paradiso is a bit lackluster (in everything, but vocals more than ever).

I agree. Cyclone is pretty good.

That's it.

I can't decide between Logos, Poland, and Quichotte.

Yeah, I just proposed Skyclad be added to progressive metal, but it will probably be rejected.

Is anyone even vaguely familiar with this band?

I'm almost done with Poland CD 2 now and I'm still unsure.

Haha, probably.


Maybe it's because I've been listening to alot of live TD?

"They were notorious for playing extremely loudly (reaching 134db in 1976) and for a long time."

I liked last years French entry.

I only found out yesterday that the singer is the son of a member of a Magma. Shocked

Alpha Centauri has voices on it.

I personally think he's the son of Klaus Blasquiz but I could be wrong.

Didn't some animal killing satanic ritualistic band from Norway win that Eurovision contest a couple of years ago?
