I got to go with Echolyn by a smidgen over Shadow Gallery, Clepsydra , and Amoeba Split.

A shout out to Koenji Hyakkei, Miles Davis, and Alusa Fallax. I adore their albums too.



There was a time on this site that Koenji Hyakkei were really popular. An avant band that were held in high esteem.

This might be the only cd I bought where I had the choice of 3 album covers. Weird. They offered one with an octopus, a turkey or a fish. All very unattractive by the way. Good music though. I got the turkey.


I have the remastered version that came in the box set and it has all three of them pictured on the cover. I wonder what the reasoning behind the different covers is?


I've always wondered, "Why three different covers?" I got the fish.

And this is the other horse in this two horse race. Thanks Jared! What a comeback album for Oldfield, rivalling his stuff from the first half of the seventies. This one is different.

A two horse race. I could have voted for this one. This is a top three or four by them. They have released many quality albums.

Mike Oldfield was really flying the flag for out there mad as hell prog rock (sort of). I played Amarok a lot when it came out but not so much now. It was 1990 and there was chuff all else though

Amarok
