I could try though, haha. Some albums are usually more universally representative (Phaedra, Rubycon, Stratosfear, Force Majeure) than others.

Haha, I understand, but at the same time I don't Electronic Prog isn't supposed to be all the same

I've seen *checking artist page cover-works* Stratosfear and I think Phaedra and/or Rubycon..

Which would be the most accesible, or at least most rewarding from first listens?

(I've heard only one Electronic Prog album which is in Kraut, Blackouts by Ashra, love it, it's pretty dreamy, and love the climax, that might give you some rough idea for what you can recomend me)

Yikes. Hmm.... If you want something that's more cold, go with Phaedra or Rubycon (Rubycon being slightly lighter). It's still extremely emotional though (in a good way); that's just the best way I can describe it.

Stratosfear continues from what those two albums established, only it makes it a bit more melodic and Symphonic. You can almost tell what the music is going to feel like though from the covers for these albums especially, and this is no exception.

Force Majeure has some of Froese's best guitar work, and the pieces are very good there too.

If you want something completely different... a bit more modern and accessible, try Underwater Sunlight. For me it's really good, but not AS good as the other ones---it makes up for that in accessibility though.

There are a few others that would be good too: Tangram, Logos, Poland.

I have 42 TD albums. I'm pretty sure I'm good now.

Yeah, all the tracks I heard so far were a little too ambiant for my tastes

Try Force Majeure title track maybe. Only problem is that it's a bit on the long side, but that's to be expected with TD.

No violins.

Don't blame me; blame Edgar Froese.

I really need to listen to them more.

Good band.

Alright. Good night, June!

Too uneventful? There are more "exciting" ones than that, but they definitely never get like Ozrics (whom I absolutely love as well).
