 Topic: What's your favourite TD album?
Posted: November 22 2007 at 16:17 |
Well, I've got only four so far: Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, and now also Hyperborea. And my favourite is undeniably Ricochet!

It's either Phaedra or Rubycon, probably Rubycon. I should listen to them more.

I only own and really know Phaedra, I've heard some of Rubycon and Stratosphere, they both sound really good but like I said my knowledge is really just Phaedra; but from that I consider them to be A list prog.

I really like Alpha Centauri, Phaedra, Rubycon, Stratosphere, Poland and Madcap's Flaming Duty... but am torn between Ricochet and Force Majeure as ultimate all time favourite

Force Majeure is my overall fave  -- see my review if you want to know just why. 
Of those you listed, it would perhaps be a tie between Phaedra and Rubycon.
Ricochet is very good too -- TD have loads of great albums, especially during the classic Virgin years.

Ricochet above all, then Rubycon, followed by Force Majeure, Phaedra and Stratosphere.

Don't worry, Stonesy -- I'll choose for you then. Force Majeure it is! 
(More gee-tar, real drums.)
(deploys hypno-ray):  Tangram is good, but you really like FM better. (Hear me now, believe me later!)

I'll go for a neutral option, then. Phaedra 2005 it is!

I like pretty much everything of theirs up until the mid 80s. The 3 I listen to most are Zeit, Force Majeure and Poland. Edgar Froese solo deserves a mention as well, especially Aqua and Epsilon in Malaysian Pale.

Yes, Tangram is a masterpiece. Although I love their earlier stuff, Tangram is on the top for me. It's got a very nice structure and flow.

My favourites are: Zeit, Atem, Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, Stratosfear, Sorcerer, Encore, Logos, Poland. I can't pick one overall favourite, they're all superb albums (and very different from each other).
Second division: Electronic Meditation, Alpha Centauri, Green Desert, Force Majeure, Tangram, Thief, Exit. I don't rate these as highly but I'll listen to them occasionally.
Don't like: Cyclone, White Eagle, Hyperborea, anything after Poland.
