That's impossible to choose, but since Tangram didn't have a single vote, I voted for it. It became a personal favourite of mine more recently and I love it more with every spin.

Always a pleasure mon ami
Any devout TD fan should get those Official bootleg releases. Well at least the 1st volume is a killer. Haven't checked out number 2 yet which is kinda odd now that I think about it. Strange...

Looks really cool ... and for once, at least for the first volume of 4 Cds, you don't have 80 minutes of music by CD !

You're referring to the old sets, or the more recent editions by Esoteric? The 2016 4CD with the complete Paris '78 (Palais des Congrés) and the complete East Berlin 1980 (Palast der Republik) concerts is without a doubt essential! I especially love the '80 PdR show as it's Johannes Schmoelling's first appearance with them.

TD is only a recent appreciation for me. The electronic and new age spheres have become my goto for sleepytime jams. Stratosphere is easily my favorite, though Zeit, Phaedra, and Rubycon fit nicely for my purposes. Atem could as well, but that weird bird noise thing at the end ruins the atmosphere.

Everything I have heard from Force Majeure and newer gives me no pleasure, though there are significant gaps in what I have heard.

Ditto, ditto. Don't miss Exit. I deem them companion albums. The same synths were used.

I am referring to the new Esoteric releases. I had the old ones ripped from a friend of mine, but I can't seem to find em these days. What really hit me straight off the bat with the new one was actually the sound quality. I expected poor quality just by the fact that 'bootleg' was in the title I was thankfully proven wrong. I hope it's the same kind of quality one gets from, I gather, Vol 2 that you're referencing to?
Man and I've been telling myself to get it now for the better part of a year and I am still without a copy. Must rectify asap.
What you're describing sounds very enticing and I really love the early period of that particular TD incarnation. The Quichotte live album with the headphone wearing orange on the cover is a fave of mine.

If you love Pergamon/Quichotte as I do, and you obviously do, having the ENTIRE performance will be one of the most pleasurable listening experiences you'll indulge. The sound palette is nothing short of glorious. If they could also release the entire Brussels '80s show (which doesn't have much overlap), that would be another major win for us. (Croydon '82 also some music I've not heard surface anywhere else.)

I did not know the Quichotte album. Just for the cover I could buy the vinyl !

OK. If Phaedra (and Rubycon, by one listen through internet) were not my cup of tea, given it's lack of melody (I mean, I did enjoy it anyway, but it's not something I'll be wanting to visit all that often), is there anything else from the band that I might actually enjoy. About 70's electronic music, I did love Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene and Equinox.

Try "Force Majeure".  It's perhaps a bit more what you might call 'accessible'   You could also try my personal favourite which I mentioned in an earlier post   "220 Volt Live".   It's very guitary and even has a cover of 'Purple Haze' on it.
