Edgar Froese's Aqua was recorded at the time of the Virgin-era TD, can anyone tell me how it compares?   All of Edgar's solo albums up through 1983 were released on Virgin, and IMO are better than Aqua. This includes   Macula Transfer Epsilon In Malaysian Pale Ages Stuntman (my personal favorite) Pinnacles   Edgar recorded a new solo several years back called Dalinetopia. It's okay, but not like the good ol' days.

I reckon Stuntman and Epsilon are his best. Pinnacles is similar to Hyperborea but not as good while Aqua is a bit like Rubycon but again not as good. Thats not to say they are bad though. I am still quite fond of Pinnacles and Aqua is okay. Ages was originally a double album release and has a lot of interesting material.

I agree, Moondawn is great.

I only have Phaedra, Exit, and Tangram at the moment, there are so many albums in their discography it's nuts!  They must make albums in their sleep (which could explain the dreamy-like atmospheres as well as the name of the band itself, but I digress)! 

HAhaa, yeah I knew it was something like that... thanks man.

Years ago I was given some TD suggestions. I have Cyclone which I love dearly. Rubycon is only soso for me... i can listen to it as background but can't loose myself to it. I have heard Pheadra and was similarly underimpressed with it. So the suggestions I got centered around which TD albums featured the most electric guitar which is the part of Cyclone that sends me. So I lost the damn list before I acted on it.  Can yawl help me re create it? I love that burning intense guitar feel of cyclone and would love to hear a bit more if it. Thanks all.

Perhaps it should be moved.   In response to the last post, I find both to be exceptional. I'm in favor of this. I've been thinking about starting a prog electronic appreciation thread but I wasn't sure if anyone would contribute. Should I go for it?
