Hey maybe this will be the first poll of this series that isn't a blowout. But then again...
Going Embryo over Agitation Free and Et Cetera.

I only have maybe three like A Meditation Mass on my Krautrock list. A flute led beauty and apparently they got help from Achim Reicel, Frank Dostal and Winifried Schmidt the executive producer whom they all thank in the liner notes along with the guest flute player. This is a trio with two of them being brothers.

CAN

I laughed reading the liner notes where Karoli complained that the sessions for "Ege Bamyasi" were frustrated by Damo and Irma playing chess constantly night and day.

I have those plus Knirsch, which is quite good. Embryo and Yatha Sidhra are wonderful, but only Can themselves can match Ege Bamyasi (imo).

All great albums, but Ege Bamyasi has the widest range of music among these choices.

It's a bit okra vs. herbal tea for me.

All three of those albums score high for me. I really like each one in its own way. They're different enough from each other that they are not three albums that I would tend to readily compare or match (I understand why in this poll series they are being matched). I think I did a poll with Yatha Sidhra before and went against Popol Vuh's Hosianna Mantra and Sergius Golowin's Lord Krishna von Goloka as they all have certain mystical meditative qualities (as does Dom's Edge of Time and many others in Krautrock and Indo Prog Rag Rock...). I love the flute.

I love Ege Bamyasi, but I get something quite different out of A Meditation Mass.

Just a fanboy passin' through.

By the way, Spoon as a track is top 3 of all time for me. The drum part (played together with a rhythm machine!) is one of the most incredible things in the history of humankind. (Am I exaggerating? Hardly... Tongue

) And then Ege Bamyasi has Vitamin C on top of it.

Another album in that Popol Vuh, Yatha Sidhra, Sergius Golowin vein is Between's "And The Waters Opened". In fact one of the tracks sounds so much like Popol Vuh.
