I'll vote for Between, which is indeed beautiful. It fits nicely between the slices of bread in an electric orange sandwich (as a couple more albums I know and like in the poll). Annexus Quam and Future Kings I have also liked.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I have this issue^ which was why I was curious why you didn't like it but suspected it was the bonus tracks. I completely agree and it's actually misleading starting the album off with a bonus track in my opinion. Glad it wasn't sound quality even if I felt mine sounded good.

Glad to see this one getting some votes. American Robert Eliscu is by far the best oboe player I've ever heard. He's on some Popol Vuh albums too, in fact the one song on here sounds just like Popol Vuh, "Devotion" I believe. 
There's been seven different releases or editions of this one, so what's wrong with the 2005 one?
The three sup-par bonus tracks that don't really have a relation to the original album. The one that opens the album is particularly annoying - I mean why on earth open an album with a track that didn't originally belong on it?

A couple of late votes for Agitation Free puts them out in front.
Of the albums on these three polls that have no votes Cornucopia's Full Horn is the most disappointing but it's mainly because it's a hard one to get. Guldbamsen helped me there and this is one crazy record. And you would swear on that second track that Kevin Ayers was singing one his own songs. The opening side long suite is all over the place. Very Krautrock, very out there.

Almost a sweep of all three polls for Electric Orange, but Shibuya Nights is a great live album.....the heart of the band still together after 35 years and really hitting it hard.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

This is one of my Krautrock loving brother in law's favourites. CAN is his band but he's gone on about Electric Sandwich to me before. Love that opener "China".

I'm with you on Agitation Free probably a top three Krautrock band for me, right up there anyways. And this one surprised me. The band did a series of shows over there with the occasion being Michael Hoenig being represented in a wax museum. Guitarist Lutz Ulbrich had already been added years before. I guess they have a Prog Rock section at the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum.

I think I like this one more than Morbus but yes all three are great. Love the picture of the band sitting on a sidewalk somewhere in Germany.

There you have it, last one, thanks for all the comments on such strange music. I still remember blasting The Future Kings Of England while doing yard work years ago and being asked what kind of drugs I was on to listen to that.LOL
