This is a fun collection. Actually I only became aware of Glueckskugel in one of your earlier "4 little gems" polls, but I love it. Or rather, I love about half of it and the rest at least makes me smile.
Agilok & Blubbo is very interesting and shows how much Can already had in their bag when they not even were Can. Irmin is credited with flute and guitar, very surprising, and I like what he makes of it. I wonder whether Michael is already on this album, too, because some of the guitar sounds a lot like him. Some of it is great, overall it's rather tentatively laying foundations than the real thing they should become.
The other two are much more mature. Toy Planet is a very inventive and colourful progressive electronic album and it's a shame that it isn't listed on PA.
Movie is a monster, I listen to it regularly since the time I got it in the mid-eighties, and it has never stopped to amaze me. As good as the rest is, there's no other place to vote.

I'm only familiar with Czukay, so I cannot vote before I get to know the others.

Yeah guys, Movies is for me a record that sounds like no others. The only album that comes closer is maybe the Eno/Byrne's My life in the bush of ghosts.

Same association here. Both of these are among my dearest treasures.

I have a story about the Eno and Byrne's album. The day I bought the vinyl, my grandmother died. Then I bought the Cd edition and someone fell ill in my family. Another bad thing thing happened when I came back home with the remastered edition few years later. I'm not superstitious, but since that time (about 5 years ago or more) I have not played it.

Czukay's solo career as a whole ranks ahead of the other post-Can/Can-related careers, so Movies.

Toy Planet comes very close, though.

Yeah, as Lewian said, Toy Planet should be on P.A.

I only know Movies, which I honestly don't like that much.
