It's been fun guys ! 
Wish You Were Here, The Magus and Up The Down Stair stand out for me although that first one on the list is incredible as well.

"MIRA QUELLA SIGNORA, BELLA SIGNORA!" times infinity!!

in other words, the Universal Totem Orchestra `The Magus' gets my vote! What an intense, varied and overwhelming album!!

But I LOVE several other albums on this list.

The Schulze and Tangerine Dream albums are stunning, the Univers Zero one is maddening and repetitive, and Floyd's classic has a grand status for a good reason.

Porcupine Tree's `Up The Downstair' is where they beautifully mixed prog, psych, ambient and dance elements together - well, the gorgeous original version, not the nonsense `remixed' version where the dancey programmed beats were replaced with live drums - BAH! Ruined what made it so inventive in the first place!

That's a mighty fine list and I love many of those albums. I'd normally vote for UZ, TP, Samla, TD, Schulze or Floyd. But......

I'm leaning towards The Magus myself but i want to have a listen to these first.

Choosing between Les Mortes Vont Vite and 1313 is like choosing between my children.  That's my favourite Univers Zero album.  Two of my favourite all-time albums ther.  I'm going with 1313 because while 1313 is my favourite UZ album, Shub-Niggurath's earlier self-titled album can compete with Les Morts Vont Vite.

There are a number of five star albums in this list in my books.

I think my faves would be in this order (though it's very close between some and a couple I should re-visit):
1313
Les Mortes vont Vites
Maltid
Phaedra
In Extremis
Wish You Were Here
The Magus (haven't listened to it in years, but I liked it)
Up the Downstair (which I've only heard once)

Strong list..

Right now it's a tossup between Thinking Plague, Samla, Floyd, and Tangerine Dream.  All four are on my all-time favorites list.  This series is certainly going out with a bang!

Vote to come later.

I'll give Thinking Plague a much needed vote.  The second half of the album sort of slows up a bit for me, but the first half is just precisely amazing.

This is the worst list of albums of the whole zarpek polls. In the sense that they are all great and not voting for Floyd, TD or Shub-Niggurath is very hard, but my vote goes to the Incredible Magus
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I think i counted four 5 star albums for myself,and i agree with you about that other Shub Niggurath album.

Wish you were here is one of the very few albums that I would pick over Up the Downstair.  Sure you will understand Steven.
