A month ago I'd've gone with the earlier work, but lately I've been giving the later ones another shot - & I must say, I'm glad I did...I'm loving the Bowie-esque feel they have to them Smile

The first triad is great, but I went with the latter simply because those albums are what I'm listening to more these days.

Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act

The Least and World Record are both pretty average albums, so it really comes down to the two main pairs on each. Godbluff and Pawn Hearts are pretty comparable to me, with PH being perhaps a bit more innovative and ridiculously strange. H to He, though, clearly for me defeats Still Life. Good stuff all of them, but I ended up going with the first trio.

Went with the earlier three, but these days Still Life is my overall favourite VDGG album.

the second option is great, but for me only the songs 'Killer', 'Man-Erg', 'Lemmings' and 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers' are enough to win the second option.

The first three are far better and H to He is my favourite of all, but all of the albums here are great.

1. Godbluff
2. Still Life
3. H to He Who Am The Only One
4. Pawn Hearts
5. World Record
6. The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other

I vote for Godbluff/Still Life/World Record.

I go for the first trio of albums, even though Pawn Hearts only has 3 great tracks on it.

The Least We Can Do is weaker than World Record, therefore the latter triad
yet you still have time!

It took less time then I thought to get these six records on vinyl! I choose for the first option because I like H to He and Pawn Hearts very much.
