I had to go with "Fish Rising" over "L" and "Motivation Radio" which are the only ones I own.

I also liked his playing on "Space Shanty" by Khan

Too bad he was only on two songs on "Shamal" by Gong.

Fish Rising over Green.

Still need Rainbow Dome though.

All of these albums are excellent, but "Fish Rising", "Green" and "Rainbow Dome Musick" are real masterpieces. I do love "L" as well.

Two stand out for me, Live Herald and Radio Dome Music.

The former is an outstanding live album. Great production and all the songs are better than the studio versions especially the mesmerising Lunar Musick Suite.

Radio Dome Music is one of the best ambient albums I own, and I still play it 30 years on, which must say something. I'll vote for this one as it needs some support.

Fish Rising and L, but a bit of Motivation never hurt. I got off the ride for Green and Open but I was back on board for For To Next. The song These Uncharted Lands is so incredible and when he played Nearfest he mentioned it as one of his favourites. I was soooo happy!!!

Gong Angel's Egg has some great hillage licks going on... yes! you're right ! french band clearlight symphony features some good hillage licks too Wink

haven't heard the rest.... so no vote

will probly acquire a few more soon the first four are essential!! Wink

I'll say that Live herald and rainbow dome musick are pretty essential too so that makes it the first 6 essential.

i agree with you Wink

but it's just a matter of money, in fact mixing green and rainbow gives birth to ozric, don't you think?

I like his live alum a lot. of his studio albums perhaps "Green" slightly in front of "Fish Rising" and "L"; "Motivation Radio" has its moments, but on the whole can not compete. Open sadly has only two good songs (the last two, which feature Dave Stewart). quite agree about open only two good songs! but how much i love to play them very loud

Hi,

GREEN is one of the prettiest albums ever recorded ... with Nick Mason's hand of death at the controls ... it is very clean, and beautiful all the way, and blends the effects and moments nicely, like only PF could do!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
