Zanov sounds like Jean Michel Jarre in the 70s. Depends on what you want to call progressive rock I guess. For me it was the first half of the seventies and then a lot of music, however good, just sounded recycled. Genesis, as much as the progheads hate the post Wind & Wuthering or post Gabriel albums, did the right thing by re-inventing themselves. Fripp also did the right thing by getting out of a sinking ship or quiting while he was ahead and moving on. I was into other stuff in the 80s and found that there was more to creative and adventurous music than just progressive rock during that decade. i couldn't really cast a vote here. Just because something is obscure doesn't mean it's that great.

^Guess I never associated Associates with prog - I'm in a minority that didn't get bolwan away by Depois... besides its a 1978-album released five years later so it doesn't really represent this era.
Pleasantly surprised to see Yog Sothoth doing so well. I was certain it was doomed to end up among the ones with zero votes. Not surprised however to see Kate getting the most votes - its pretty high up on my own favorite albums (ever) and if I'm honest I may have to give it my own vote.

Zanov has never been reissued (and not available for streaming or digital files) but you can still get his all albums at a reasonable price. The opening/title track here is just about my favorite slice of progressive electronic:

First vote for The Tunes of Two Cities, as I really like that Res album, and picked it up in San Francisco a few weeks ago. Fabio Frizzi was great to see live, actually very progressive and that was unexpected (my friend's far more familiar with him than I am)

Osjan over Codona and Nekropolis, coincidentally somewhat similar albums, though I feel like I do still need to hear those records by Embryo, Cos and Haniwa-Chan(didn't they share some members with Wha-Ha-Ha?)

From the list: Art Zoyd with Univers Zero runner up. Then again, other than Kate Bush and Dead Can Dance I don't know the rest, so I haven't voted.

Not sure the DCD album can be described as prog either, if it's the one I'm thinking of. It's more goth/world music. Quite good though.
Yes Its not really prog but that can be said about almost every DCD-album. I think DCD's approach to what they brought to the table was progressive right from the start though - which is more important to me than whether the music fits the "prog"-term.
Yes, I agree, they were certainly 'progressive' if not actual prog. Intriguing band.
