^ Listened to "Movin' On" after work this evening and really enjoyed it. The upfront bass and killer drum work, well they are all excellent musicians and it really shines through on this one.

I thought this poll was long done. I knew you'd be picking Circus Hugues and that's an album I might just take to work today, another one I haven't heard in ages. |
I have 3 Circus albums ....like them all.....especially Movin On. but I have to say Celestial Ocean is also an excellent LP.

I haven't listened to either for quite a while and having seen youtube videos of them live i'm jealous that you saw them at ROSfest. |
they were great. Too bad I brought a friend who doesn't really "get" prog other than some of the folkier stuff (he's like me only worse!) . Sometimes that can detract from one's enjoyment

Oh yeah I did see that Joel and company had a new one coming out, I need to investigate.

I think Phil picked them and they have been mentioned also so it's just really good to see the love spread around here. I should read your review David, i'm sure I already have but my memory sucks.

Hey Tom! It and celestial Ocean are neck and neck for me, tough to pick one but both are great. Their debut Cottonwood Hill is a psychedelic classic as Guldbamsen points out. Not easy to digest and very much out there.

If it was Cottonwood Hill, then I would've voted for Brainticket in a heartbeat. I know many folks are repelled by the monotonous conveyor belt organ with those added bits of electronic madness, but I just love that part myself. Beautifully strange that one.
In the end I went for the cowboy's freak out album in 'An Invisible World Revelaed'. Gotta love that harmonica!!! I love how he's able to make an otherwise prairie sounding entity sound psychedelic. |
Great to see such varying opinions and pretty much every album listed getting some love. And I almost didn't add that Krokodil album but i'm glad I did.

Only heard just over half so I won't vote, but Circus is probably my favourite at the moment
