I'm hell-bent on voting for Gong's Angel's Egg here as it is heaven-sent.  This and You would top this series for me.  Flying Teapot soars as well.

Angel's Egg, the first Gong album I ever bought (back in the 1990s). I may be eligible for a polyester bowl, but for now, I'm going to eat the last pair of pants in the universe.

Hard to choose for me between Metal Fatigue and Angel's Egg.

Why am I not surprised that I'm the only one who voted for Pierre Moerlen's Gong. Tongue

There is clearly a trend with this series of polls where the full band's offering beats out all of the others. I suggest removing them for further entries. Angel's Egg is the clear winner, while Rainbow Dome music and Metal Fatigue are also outstanding releases.
