1974 to 1977 debut & sole album list part 2

Penitence time... ;) I primarily created this poll because I regret missing Kew. Rhone in the first one.   All of these albums are in my collection and have been cherished by me at some time to some extent (actually, not that big on a few of these), so if you wonder why I didn't include something, it may that I didn't think of it or missed it, it may be that I don't know it, or possibly that I don't like it very much. There were a number of albums that I wanted to include before, but didn't that I did think of.

As usual, recommendations are appreciated (the more obscure, the better commonly).

Once again, these are listed as debut albums, and I'm using PA's top Prog albums list to remember albums. Some of these should have made my first list for sure, such as the Pascal Duffard, Dionne-Bregent, Harmonia, Heldon, Zygoat, Wapasou and others (had added the Heldon to my last list but lost when trying to alphabetize it) .

I came up with this list just based on ones not in the other poll that I have liked a ton, and needed to whittle down (left off various propular ones, sadly). I love that Alan Parsons album, but it's had plenty of PA attention in other polls so I left it off for just being too damned popular. And Harmonium is great, but just have listened to it in a long time. Love Tim Blake's too....

Sorry, about the ones I left off -- executive decision, and some others not on his list I also considered. Multiple voted enabled, so vote for as many or as few as you like. If you only know one, feel free to vote.

If you want to see part one, here it is: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=113957

Ugh, spent over an hour on this. Hope it gets enough attention to be worth the effort.

Well, please do vote if you like either of those albums. I know that some I left off the list would have been more popular than the majority of these choices, but I hope some people can get turned onto some new-to-them music here due to the discussion that this list (hopefully) engenders.

Great, glad about that. In polls like these ones that have so many choices, it can make it less inviting to check out music for many. I have been told that I tend to overdo when it comes to making polls, and I tend to agree, but once I start listing some in polls like this, I find it hard to stop..., and even then I always think, damn, I wish I had included such-and-such. OCD be damned. List-making can be fun, and it gets me to return to music sometimes that I haven't listened to in years.

Tilt

Wow... I absolutely love those Arti E Mestieri, Ashra, Biglietto pe L'Inferno, Harmonia, Maneige, Opus-5, Quiet Sun and Michael Rother albums but I've just given Onze Danses pour Combattre la Migraine and Kew.Rhone a fresh spin and they are on a whole other level.

Cool, thanks. I knew the name because I've explored the Quebec Prog scene a fair amount. I'm listening to one of their songs on youtube now and enjoying it.

Quiet Sun's is a masterpiece. 

I happily voted for Kew Rhone.  I also adore the Aksak Maboul.  I just got the disc of outtakes from that called Bandits.  If you don't know about it, the Crammed site or Marc Hollander on FaceBook have info.  I love Albert Marcoeur, too.  I believe he might have a new one out, but I haven't gotten around to tracking it down yet.  The Quiet Sun is iconic!

Pentacle with Maxophone and Wapassou a close 2nd and 3rd so votes for all 3

I'd be lying if I said I listen to any of these regularly, but Maxophone - Maxophone.
