going off on a little tangent here, but fellow fans of early electronic music should be interested...I just ordered a book/ CD from Raymond Scott- anyone else ever heard of him? I hadn't, until a week or so ago, but apparently he had most of the electronic pioneers beat in innovation and musical creativity (not to mention being a "Looney Tunes" composer!). In the 50s he was doing stuff that compares to Kraftwerk and Carlos.

Once I give it a good listen, I'll report back to ya

Quote jM Jarre is too commercial and repetitive to be real prog.

What I've been saying for years! I own a couple of Jarre's discs, but I never upgraded the rest to CD because JMJ is way, way overrated.

And while everyone is raving about Froese's Aqua, let me state that Stuntman is his best album!

Stuntman is his best, followed by epsilon in malaysian pale

jarre is too new age to be prog.

Have you heard Marty Friedman's new age album, Scenes? I love it... Kitaro has some good stuff too.

If you've never heard Kitaro's Astral Voyage, Oasis, In Person, and Ki, those are his best! I'd start with Astral Voyage, which is actually his first solo album from 1978. He's "prog" way more 'n' Jarre!

18 to 0 so far, I wouldn't have thought such a ratio, but I think they do qualify, if perhaps being a bit on the edge, but still a damn good band, I wish i had all their stuff.

I totally agree with you richardh for a partial TD discography...the blue and melrose years don't deserve a page on a prog site, commercial synth music...really far from the mindblowing and very complex music offered on albums such as Alpha Centauri, Zeit, Phaedra...

I think that, if some band or artist is going to be filed in the Prog Archives, their whole discography should be included. Genesis's Invisible Touch and Yes's Open Your Eyes are listed, right?

That's right, not to mention that the albums right after the Virgin years - Poland: The Warsaw Concert, Le Parc, Underwater Sunlight, Tyger, and the Green Desert reissue - aka the Relativity years, are excellent, just a bit different. Yes, the Melrose years (1988-1990) and Miramar years (1991-1996) (except for Oasis) and onward, for the most part are pretty stinky but it has to be all or nothing.

Too much of the later TD music was just 'churned out'.I'd still stick to my guns on the partial discography but if the whole discography is included I won't complain.

Consider this: their 2001 album 'Inferno' is actually an exquisite work of epic splendour, somewhere between their 74-77 era and Vangelis' latest epics (El Greco, Mythodea)... and it wouldn't make it in the partial discography shuould it be applied.

Regards.

Yes, Underwater Sunlight is a phenomenal work! It's the last really, really good album they did. Back when each album had a completely different sound than the last. If you like, you can also argue for Tyger, but even though I liked it a lot at the time, Optical Race was the end of TD being an *innovative* act.

I agree with dropForge although 'Goblins Club' is an interesting later release.

I havn't got that one but I do like the Vangelis albums you mention.Maybe I'll check Inferno out if it's not too 'pricey'.

I don't know.  I mean, we don't leave post-Steve Hackett Genesis off the Genesis page.  Nor do we leave off Yes albums featuring Trevor Rabin.  Or Rush after Moving Pictures.  I think that if a band has had prog works, their entire discography should get listed, prog or not.
