Find it pretty difficult to split them. I would probably go for Phaedra but just.  (The giants for me are Zeit and Ricochet )

Hi,
 
I was thinking that "Phaedra" might have been the more important of the two, having finally "conquered" the sequencer, and showing it off. That's my understanding a bit, on that, though Dean might elaborate on that a bit more as he knows that physical stuff better.
 
"Rubycon" was, for me, almost a continuation of some of their stuff in "Atem", though it was more melodic this time, than it was "ambient" the first time. The sound effects are still quite vivid in both. I think that by this time they figured out how to make notes and sounds out of the effects, which I would imagine was probably new at the time.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Up to that point, the title side of Phaedra definitely put the pedal to the metal as far as sequencers circa 1973 went. Rubycon ups the ante and with the addition of more keyboards and lush Mellotron work sounds like an unofficial soundtrack to Dante's Nine Circles.
