James is being incredibly silly and saying things like:
So I think we should fix 'is bucket... er, repair his water-receptacle. P.S. this poll and/or topic is 100% serious, no tomfoolery s'il te plait |

Tago Mago is a really good album, but Ahvak's is a lot better.

i probably shouldn't have voted, considering I have only heard ~10% of Ahvak. But, for the sake of Canvancement, I voted Tago. Plus, can anything surpass Peking 0?

I've only listened to Ahvak once so far and Tago Mago is one of my favorites, no vote from me.

Ahvak. Tago Mago is pretty sweet...but ahvak doesn't have weak spots. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I love both, and Ahvak is one of my favourite modern albums, but no question for me about choosing Tago Mago!

I feel like that will be how I vote once I'm more familiar with Ahvak, because unlike some people I don't think Tago Mago has any weak moments. I'm only 12 minutes into my second ever listen of Ahvak, though, so my opinion could change once I'm a bit more familiar with it. As I said in the Shred, I'll vote once I've given the album a year or so to settle in. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Tago Mago was more challenging for me than Ahvak to really like (I really liked Ahvak on first listen), but Tago Mago really grew on me, and was for me, definitely the more ear-opening album. I don't think it's at all weak either. As good as Ahvak is (and I've certainly shared my love for this album in the fora before), it hasn't had the same impact. Nor has it had the same impact on me as albums by modern bands in PA such as Volapuk. ------------- "Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself" (The Prisoner, 1967). |

I'm not going to vote.Rated both at 5 stars and they're so different from one another. Love them both ! ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I actually don't like Tago Mago all that much. I haven't heard the other album in your poll, but I much prefer Ege Bamyasi.

Wow, very nice james. Tago Mago is one of those albums that a lot of members here love, it is nice to see that there are people who think different. I am with you on this.

Ahvak is excellent, but Tago Mago is one of my all-time favourites. I generally agree with Logan's sentiments - it had much more impact on me. Kind of a strange comparison, though... |

I'm with James on this one, Ahvak is much more interesting to me. Admitedly, I havnt heard either album in its entirety but Can's style just doesnt appeal to me at all. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Ahvak is an excellent contemporary RIO album.
Tago Mago is a Kosmiche masterpiece.
Both splendid, but Tago Mago is the one I'd rescue from a burning building. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

| It´s not really fair, I´ve had Tago Mago for 6 or 7 years and I absolutely love it. Ahvak came last week.... All set aside, I find it very unlikely that it will ever be as good- going on my 20th spin right now. |
