Last Autumn's Dream is my favorite. I especially love the "Winter's Tale"/"Snake" combo that starts the album. The debut album was my intro to them - bought the LP without knowing anything about them, because it had a proggy look. Loved that album too, but my next, "Kites", was a bit over my head. "Waves" was next, and I loved the jazzy bits on that one, with Winwood guesting on organ. Long story short, I have all the 70s albums except for "Released", which I will get someday, though I have an mp3 copy I made from a friend's LP. Though I had all four albums separately, I still got "Island Anthology" years after it went out of print, when I found it used. It's a nice package and probably collectable. 

Recent stuff, I have "Eclipse", actually a much older recording unreleased intil the 90s. Haven't heard anything else. I like the band when I'm in the right mood, but I'm not a completist.

	I have the "Island Anthology". Way of the Sun is my favorite, I think.

	I have 10 of their albums but I still like the first 3 the best and prolly Autumn's Dream the most. But I also like Floating World, Way of the Sun, and Now. Do you have July...the early psych thing two of the members were part of?

	We've been waiting for Jon Field to put out a new Jade Warrior album for quite awhile. The official site says he's working on it, and it's supposed to be called Haiku. The official hasn't been updated since I start looking at it. Does anyone have any additional info on this? I hope there are no health issues.

	This is about all things pertaining to Jade Warrior. As far as I can tell there isn't one of these yet, so let's start one. JW is one of my favorite Prog bands, and I like all eras of the band equally. My two favorite albums are Released (Glyn Havard era) and Floating World (Post-Havard era). What do others think?
