Spiral Staircase for its seriousness compared to the few others I've heard. I mean, a real presence of product for the band.

To the Highest Bidder is a 5-star album, in my top 5 of Dutch prog albums.

To the Highest Bidder is one of the best Canterbury albums out there. That is a pretty impressive feat seeing it is one of the most consistent genres on PA.

I'm a big fan of these guys Sagi and I like all their studio albums. It's between To The Highest Bidder and Iskander. The latter is different from the rest as it has more of a Soft Machine flavour with Charlie Mariano on sax sounding like Elton Dean at times. After Iskander failed to do well Charlie went to Germany to play with Eberhard Weber, meanwhile the band asked Elton Dean to join them and he accepted, sadly the band broke up before they could record an album with him. You'll see Elton Dean listed as a former member anyway on their web-site.

I just love the first three records, hard to vote. Chose for Pudding, because it can easily be misunderstood.

I'm having the same indecision John, it's between To The Highest Bidder and Iskander for me too, I'll listen to them today.

Wow great to see all releases getting votes! Love this band, both in it's early incantation as well as in it's latter more experimental stage.
A couple of years back, I would've voted for either Pudding or Highest Bidder, but nowadays it's got to be Iskander. Some say it's too pompous and silly, but then again Iskander was an album made to reflect the trials and tribulations of Alexander the Great. If anything such an endeavour requires great amounts of pompousness and silliness.
What else? Oh yes, I adore the wind instruments of this album.

Their wonderful debut Present for Nancy just ahead of follow-up To the Highest Bidder. Acually if I made a top five list would be in the exact same order as the poll.

Their sound is amazing, so modern as could be the sound of Stevie Wonder for soul music.
