This poll came out when I was taking a break from the site, methinks.
There are a number of albums I love here, but I adore Zanov's Green Ray. |

there is a little typo in the poll; the name of the Eden album is not "Erwatung" (which is not really a German word, but if it were it would mean "Awading") but "Erwartung", which means "Expectation"

I don't know all the albums, but that Deja Vu album is one of my favorites and it got my vote.

Indeed, they are the same. As I understand it, the first release was in Sweden only and all the titles were in their original Swedish. The second release was apparently international and in English. The music is all instrumental of course, so that makes no difference. The website for Hansson's label, Silence, lists the two titles side by side in one edition and features the 1970 Swedish cover. I do not speak or read Swedish, but had noticed that there are the same number of tracks, and the same track features Elrond's name. Also, I know enough about Scandinavian languages to see that Sagam an Ringen essentially means "Saga of the Rings," which seems an appropriate alternate to "Lord of the Rings." This complicates the nature of the poll, does it not? |

I'm flattered! haven't heard most of these either, but it would probably be Belighted - my copy just arrived a couple days ago and there's some killer tracks on it! So far, don't think it's as good as the original, but maybe a few more listens (Os Lunatum is possibly their best song). Swans is up there too, but it's still too overrated IMO...

According to PA Lord of the Rings was released in 1972 and Sagan om Ringen as released in 1970 There are two very different covers. Lord of the Rings has 101 ratings and wouldn't qualify for this poll based on that. Are these actually the same album? |

Lots of great releases, but I went with GAM in the end. Fantastic album and quite headscratching to think that the best album the group ever did first got it's release some 25 years later.
Very tempted to go for Hedayatt and Thibault though.

Swans is the only one I've heard on this list, so they get my vote.

Nice idea for a poll. Six of these I have never heard. Of the rest I voted for Pan.thy.monium but I also really like the Greaves, Gam and Swans albums.

This is almost impossible man! There are many favourites here like Dashiell Hedayat, Laurent Thibault, Gam, Latter e Mielle and Bo Hansson but my goes to the too overlooked outstanding metal gem Pan.thy.monium!
Kudos Digdug for mentioning this album. |

Laurent Thibault, for sure! (Belighted is too new for me to judge.)

I'll vote for the only one I have heard: Sagan om Ringen although I am more familiar with it as Lord of the Rings. Hansson captured a mysticism inherent in Tolkein's great work through atmosphere, tone, and mood. As a special note, I am somewhat familiar with Eberhard Weber's work but not this particular album.
