We like that don't we? I know I often do. I haven't planned this through, but I'll make some polls where I'll introduce 10 darkly tinted tunes that last at least fifteen minutes - and that I love. That's all really. Don't know them? Well, here's your chance:

Since neither Side A nor Side B of Rubycon is a choice, my vote goes to SFF.

I really like/love everything here, even "De Futura" (even if a recent comment might have made it seem otherwise), but my vote will go to Vortex's "Les Cycles de Thanatos". A superb selection per my tastes.

I've got some Tangerine Dream sidelongs lined up for this. But don't know which one to choose.

With TD, "Atem" is the first to spring to my mind.

Haha I didn't think you actually disliked it. But I suppose there's a chance I like it even better. I'm always completely blown away by its violently punishing, doomladen slowly building grooves, otherwordly soundscapes and evil growls. I tempted to describe it as catarthic (again), but I decided not to use such big words as often as I tend to do, so I won't. 

-Other than that "Les Cycles de Thanatos" - oh man that magnificent, epic length build-up certainly pays off! It takes both some musical genius and a lot of guts + confidence to pull that off. I think. Which is what I love about a lot of... prog. Yeah, for one thing I appreciate that they challenge themselves first - and then me. (but I prefer it when they somehow succeed as well - like Vortex do:)

Good choices! Of course I would have written no matter which top three you would have ended up with:)

A strong contender right there. But they got plenty. When I think about it there's really no rule that says I can only choose just one. I wish I never found out Sunrise in the Third System/Fly and Collision of Comas Sola were seperated into two tracks. Then that piece would have been a no-brainer. Back when I discovered "all this" prog and related stuff, this kind of music was so unhip I got tons of albums literally for free. So I grabbed A LOT and just listened - without noticing such trivia.

Yes, its wondrous. I have a feeling anyone who loves Pictures would/could love Symphonic Holocaust just as much. Chack it out, if you're not familiar with it yet.

Cielo Drive 17 deserves your vote anyway. It's the ultimate hidden Gong-gem of all hidden gems. But do check that other half out.

So many great tracks here but yeah Cielo Drive 17 is a mesmerizing drive down a rabbit hole. Love that Magma track too but...

I'm tempted to give Artcane my vote as nobody else will. I'm sure this french late 70's album and its titletrack would please most proggers looking for great lost gems - and even blow them away. But the competition is hard. If I'm honest a handful of the other otions in the poll has meant (a lot) more to me. I've obsessed over:

De Futura
Cielo Drive, 17
Les Cycles De Thanatos
East Hastings &
Symphonic Holocaust

-in particular

Good to see SFF pop up in a poll, so it's them.

I know four, maybe five. One vote more for SFF but Godspeed, ADII and Magma are pretty much up there. Need more time to listen to others. Unfortunately there's too much more in life than music listening. Disapprove
