^^ I got hooked with the first Tangerine Dream album (Electronic Meditation). It's a very different experience from Ricochet (a more experimental rock kind of sound) and is not appreciated by most as much as by me.
Love those first 4 TD albums. Alpha Centauri is my pick. Then Stratosfear (from the later albums).

Stratosfear was a milestone. The title track evolves like a runaway locomotive. It's an unrelenting earworm.

If you like that one, you also have to check out Cyclone and Force Majeure (one of the best albums to cross over from Berlin School into full-on prog).
Both of those albums are superb. I stopped getting TD records with Optical Race. From their 80’s output - Tangram, Pergamon and Underwater Sunlight are all wonderful albums, but I am party-pooping the poll at hand.

I have to have anything/everything with Johannes Schmoelling on it. That guy's amazing. He cooked up melody lines I've heard from no other keyboardist, not even the Emersons and Wakemans out there. Everything from Pergamon through Le Parc, be it a studio album, live recording or film soundtrack, is in my collection. 

Since you like Optical Race, you may want to revisit the 1989 album Lily On The Beach. Some really cool stuff on there. When J-Fro joined full time is when things started going south (for me, anyway).

I have Lily as a cassette tape !! Haven’t given it much of a chance. Did you ever notice the chords at the start of Marrakesh are identical to the Mellotron intro to Watcher Of The Skies ??

Magma for me
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

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