It's interesting that the first and the most recent two have higher PA ratings yet on this poll Stardust and Unfold are winning.

Back In The World has always been one of my favorites by them but it was the first I heard.....yet I voted Stardust.....haven't bought any by them since Unfold.

Stardust We Is.

There seems to be a prevailing thought that TFK's more recent stuff is somehow inferior to their earlier LP's - and this is poppycock. All twelve albums (thirteen if you count that first Stolt solo album) are fantastic in their own right.

And I have been listening to Back In The World Of Adventures all day today and I might have to revise my rating on it - upwards. It's better than I once thought. Still not their best but damned good.

For me there is a sameness to their albums that don't allow for enough variety overall. They are all uniformly good.....but after playing one or two I often have trouble differentiating between albums. They have been prolific since they came on the scene and Stolt of course does side projects like Transatlantic.

Perhaps a bit too prolific in the end.

I just listened to some tracks from Eden and Rose....good stuff , but again to my ears it could be from earlier works. It all blends into one huge album.

Still haven't made it all the way through an album of theirs. Not my bag I guess.
