I've just seen it as a Soft Machine album.. a group I struggled to 'get' long after I got and grew to love the others associated with Canterbury

Easy vote for the band that doesn't feature Haslam
Oh and I really dig that Soft album too, although Vol 2 is better.

Oh boy. I like that Renaissance album a lot but I think Third's experimentalism and current underdog status is going to make my choice for me.

Depressing to see that threestar Renaissance-album in the lead. Now their titletrack is a good example of a flawed epic. They were quite good at making 8-12 minute mini-epics though.

Third is a Canterbury/jazzrock-masterpiece that still gets a spin once in a while although I listen to all things prog a lot less then I used to.

I think I voted for both of these in the previous round. Finding Sheherezade overly schmaltzy this time round. Funny how time and place effects one's decisions.  Its probably just a vote for Wyatt but Third gets it.

I like the Renaissance album, yes. But I find myself desiring a little more intensity of mood and a bit more grit, though I do like the compositions and Annie's voice.

oh man.. classic era mk. 2 Renaissance is 90% schmatlz... but alive it is 75% of it tasty schmalz...

the one album of their essential first 4 I really did not like was Turn of The Cards.. yawn.... all the other ones at least had one standout track that wasn't just ....schmaltz but killer stuff.  (Rajah Khan, Ashes are Burning, A Trip to the Fair)

Yeah, I always wished they could have had just one more track like that per album, like Trip/Ashes/Touching Once.  They could write some musically interesting tracks once in a while but seemed to be content with the mournful symph sound.

Foo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-hhh ... I don't know. I guess I'll just have to vote for the one that needs more votes for a tie - Third.

Nope, ... Scheherazade ... . It doesn't just brim with energy; it also has more madness and soul in it.
