Heck, I never realized it but I think this just might be one of my favourite years in music (not exclusively prog) ever. 1. Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance 2. Cardiacs - Sing To God 3. Mats/Morgan - Trends And Other Diseases 4. Allan Holdsworth - None Too Soon 5. D.F.A. - Lavori In Corso 6. King Crimson - THRaKaTTaK 7. Ut Gret - Time Of The Grets 8. Bob Drake - Little Black Train 9. Nels Cline Trio - Chest 10. Vangelis - Oceanic Honourable mentions (I'm not including these only because they were recorded long before this particular year; the first two might have topped the list otherwise): * National Health - Missing Pieces * Frank Zappa - The Lost Episodes * Soft Machine - Spaced * Alan Gowen & Hugh Hopper - Bracknell-Bresse Improvisations

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 |

One of my favourite years in music. The Stereolab is not in PA, but I consider it to be a kind of Crossover album with Krautrock (Neu! and can) elements (Prog Related at least to me) and Broadcast I consider somewhat related for any art and psych elements.
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup* Broadcast - The Book Lovers* Art Zoyd - Faust (I usually think of it as a 1995 release) Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind Current 93 - All the Pretty Little Horses Cardiacs - Sing to God Zypressen - Zypressen Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance Bondage Fruit - Bondage Fruit II Bonus: Cozmic Corridors - Cozmic Corridors and Miriodor - Jongleries Élastiques Eels - Beautiful Freak as a little non-Prog bonus.

'Twas a very good year - surprisingly so.
 Camel - Harbour of Tears Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser The Enid - Healing Hearts Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited Hawkwind - Love in Space: Live at Hammersmith Iona - Journey into the Morn IQ - Forever Live Mike Oldfield - Voyager Sally Oldfield - Secret Songs Chris Rea - La Passione (soundtrack) Vangelis - Oceanic Rick Wakeman - Fields of Green YES - Keys to Ascension I've heard Richard Wright's Broken China is very good too, although I've only heard fragments of the album so far.
