(Chuckle) I only know one album in that list - Earth & Fire's "Song of the Marching Children" - but it's my favorite from them. So I'm going with that one!

^ and perhaps my #2 of the options..what a great album and  an album and group my better half really REALLY turned me on to.

Funny.. she turned me on to a bunch of English stuff I really didn't know... yet I introducted her (or in some cases reintroduced) her to the great non-English albums.

I guess one can be predisposed as natives on ones language and culture in prog to seek those different than those we grew up with.

Glad and quite surprised honestly to see This Heat getting so much love.

A terrific list per my tastes.

I wonder why I didn't post before, probably because I like most everything here, and the other three I didn't know. The ones that I hadn't listened to, other than maybe a track from Indian Summer, are "Indian Summer", Finch: "Glory Of The Inner Force", and "Kingston Wall: "Kingston Wall II".

My favourites of the others may be the Alphataurus, Eider Stellaire, Eskaton. Arachnoid (my traditional favourite album in Symphonic Prog at PA), Gilgamesh, Ange, and the Gila album, but I love many more in the list such as The Pentangle, the Sloche (though I prefer J'un oeil), and Semiramis. I guess Atlas I'm not so keen on, but I still think it's good, and while I like Thinking Plague, I don't like In Extremis as much as the earlier TP albums, Moonsongs and In This Life, or the latter A History of Madness.

Two of my favourites have no votes: Gila: "Gila- Free Electric Sound" and "4 Visions". I'm going with Eskaton (I have loved that album to bits over the years and it's the first Zeuhl album that I really got into as I recall).

Gilgamesh is the only one that I regularly listen to and enjoy. Quite nice and the only reason I'm bothering to post, though it's a little more keyboard centered than what I usually favor, nevertheless, very enjoyable.

However, I don't know enough about the others widely speaking to vote. I do know I don't care for Happy the Man. I do have some sort of Wigwam album, but I don't remember a thing about it. I've been meaning to check out Ange, but haven't yet. That's as far as it goes for me.
