"Watch" by a country mile.
Alas, for me this list lacks the very best from 1978

You may see a smile on Tony Banks´ face but that´s unlikely.

Of the choices I would say Gilgamesh, primarily featuring musical use of synthesizers at the expense of other instruments, jazzy drumming providing time with excessive use of hi hat. Although I'm not blown away by it, it's a very solid album. I only know some but not all of the others. The vocals on the Cathedral album make me cringe a bit.

As much as I like Dave, Mesh, and Cath, Crafty Hands was just so good, and fairly innovative in '78 for an American group.

Manfred Mann. Not a big fan of Gilmours first solo, I prefer About Face.

I like your description of The Search they certainly had a strong YES flavour to their music.

A superb album by a band called Indexi, hailing from Bosnia of all places. The track Modra Rijeka II (one of the finest) can be listened here on PA.

Tough to choose between...
Guet Apens (the last truly great Ange album) Crafty Hands (my fave HTM) 10,000 (just a cool Portuguese prog album) ...but I went with Cathedral. The mellotron drenched Stained Glass Stories is a fave...especially the closer The Search which reminds me of what the Fountain of Salmacis might have sounded like if Yes had recorded it instead of Genesis

I love that Wilson is such a huge Prog fan. My top three on here are Jose Cid, Cathedral and Ange. All three have lots of mellotron. I do like Gilgamesh a ton but to me this is their weakest album. Went with Jose Cid only because it has no votes.

It's between Gilmour, Cid and Ange. I went with the latter this time around, which btw also happens to be Steve Wilson's fave Ange album ( I prefer the debut and Cimitieres to it).

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.
