Mike Oldfield - Amarok
can't find anything else remotely interesting
music was in a bad place but at least Oldfield sticking two fingers up to Richard Branson provided some relief! |

Yeah, me too. I'm like "1990"? Uh....umm..... But now I can cheat at look at other entries above, so: Fish - Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors Mike Oldfield - Amarok Ozric Tentacles - Erpland And NO to Curved Air - Lovechild! That was recorded in 1973.

Really, my biggest motivation for keeping this series of polls going is that I'm curious to know about other people's tastes; I've already discovered a lot of cool new things thanks to it, and hopefully other people's recommendations in this thread will help me avoid embarrassments like this in the future

Fred Frith - Step Across the Border Dead Can Dance - Aion Ozric Tentacles - Erpland Art Zoyd/J. A. Deane/J. Greinke Legendary Pink Dots - Crushed Velvet Apocalypse Naked City - Naked City Clearlight - Symphony II Peter Hammill - Out of Water (yes mosh I occasionally list Hammill!) Eno & Cale - Wrong Way Up Mike Oldfield - Amarok I forgot David Byrne - Rei Momo in 1989, or rather didn't know he is listed on PA. Quite enjoyable album. In 1989 it was around rank 8-12 so I didn't fill it in there, but surely it would've been top 10 in 1990.

Not at all! I enjoy our little tete-a-tetes, even if no one else does.

I'm going to add Prefab Sprout's album to my list too, at the risk of being criticised by Cristi for adding a non-prog band to my list.  I'm sure Ezra Winston's Ancient Afternoons is well-worth a listen too if it's anywhere near as good as Myth of the Chrysavides.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Ha, in recent weeks I catalogued my music collection (long live the barcode scanner!, well for those things with a barcode...), so I can now participate much easier in this kind of threads. So, a couple of my 1990 favourites (I even got to 10!): - Flairck - Alive - Ozric Tentacles - Erpland - Arrakeen - Patchwork - Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors - Dead Can Dance - Aion - Versailles - La cathédrale du temps* - Queensryche - Empire - The Penguin Café Orchestra - "Still Life" at the Penguin Café - Geoff Mann - Loud Symbols - Jan Akkerman - The Noise of Art Non-prog: - Depeche Mode - Violator - Sinéad O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got ... * On PA the release date is 1991, on Discogs (where my database is retrieving data from) it's 1990... This maybe allows me to mention them again next year... Edited by suitkees - September 30 2021 at 08:35 |
