That was actually my first listen to that Area song (no clue why I haven't gotten that album yet). I liked it a lot, but no vote for me yet as I'm not familiar with it.
As for Aumgn, I've always seen it as the song that wishes it was Soup

Hi,
In terms of complete experimentation and design, I would say Can's
is the much more important album ... honestly, I have never thought Area
was that good, or that great.
If I was asking which was the more important album, Caution Radiation Area or Tago Mago, to me it would be very clear to say Tago Mago.
Tago Mago is a cornerstone of Krautrock, I think influenced Area, and
is a much better known album. It was one of Johnny Rotten's faves, not
to mention Bowie etc.CRA has less then half the ratings of Area's debut here, and a third of those for Tago Mago (I do consider Area to be an important Italian band) -- plus it predates CRA by a few years.
But, I'm not asking which album is more important, it's just me pitting
too rather similar tracks together that I really like, and asking which
people enjoy more. I can appreciate that you never found Area good,
but I would have thought that both tracks ("Mirage' and "Aumgn") would
be appreciated by a similar audience and are both tracks that many at PA
wouldn't enjoy.

Love Area, and hate Tago Mago.
I wouldn't have thought that "Aumgn" off Tago Mago would not be in alignment with your tastes.

What a great idea for a poll . Two longish songs with the same dark atmosphere by two amazing bands.
A real close call for me but i'm picking CAN by a whisker here(bark bark).

Aumgn (with Peking O) is the best part of TM IMO. That Area track is good of course, but not somthing I'd consider a favorite.
I'll vote for Can.

Somehow I suspect that most people would never be in the mood for either. ;)
I really like both, but went with "Mirage", which is a track that I used to listen to over-and-over again after getting Caution Radiation Area. Yesterday I was doing an ipod shuffle (not something I've really tried before) and "Äumgn" (a track I hadn't really listened to for a long time) came on and I was enjoying it so much. It worked so well sandwiched between, if memory serves, a jazz track and a library music track.
