Very tough to choose among the Dun, the Samlas, the Weidorje, Shub Niggurath and especially the excellent Present album.  But I went with the Höyry-Kone.

OMG! You're missing out on some of the best music ever recorded. This is a great list which is why it was impossible for me to pick one.
Depending on one´s taste...at the moment I am not very interested typical sounding seventies prog, I mean with typical instrumentation, guitar, bass, synths, maybe some brass or woodwinds. If some of those albums are into acoustic direction (for example something like Comus) or into twisted, Beefheart-direction, tell me and I will listen it. For example I have heard some other Sinkadus, not that album and that what I heard didn´t wake my interest at all. Also I have heard Brainticket first album and find it quite boring.

First vote for SBB. Could vote just as easily for Trace, another favorite. Clearlight, Brainticket, MIA — also classics.

Maybe check out Jan Dukes de Grey to start.



I love most of the albums on this list, but will give the first vote for Dun's Eros.

The albums by Maxophone, SBB, England (Poisoned Youth is a top notch epic) and MGP are great. Even though it isn't in the same league, I quite enjoy Arena by Marsupilami.
But...my vote goes to Osanna's Palepoli. A top three RPI record.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Palepoli? Lesser Known?

only to knuckleheads who masturbate to English prog...  easily in the top 5 non Engish prog albums ever made.

Thanx. Some clips I just listened not sounding bad, so maybe I will listen that Jan Dukes as a whole. Reminding me a little bit of Strawbs, specially vocals...

I was intentioned to abstain, but the Shub Niggurath album with the vocalist out of one quarter of tone to make it disarmonic is the best horrorific interpretation of HP Lovecraft's tail that I've ever heard, followed by Azrael's Azatoth.

So many awesome albums to choose from, but I think "Memento..." by SBB is my favorite beacause of just how heartwarming it is.

I must admit I don't know some of them. The ones I know, I'll pick SBB and Asia Minor, great music on these albums.
