That year, it seemed that even the neo-progressive movement was starting to peak. Ah, the mid-80s prog desert... cast your minds back. |

Misplaced Childhood. I can't recall any of the others even getting any airplay back then, at least not in my corner of the world. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Don't really like any from this year, but the one that stood out is definitely Misplaced Childhood. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

I honestly had no clue that Ozric Tentacles had been around for that long.

I first saw the Ozrics playing in a make-shift tent at Stonehenge in 84, apparently they formed a year earlier at the same festival! |

Too cool. Ozric Tentacles is a band that I gave a quick judgement to years ago, I heard one song by them and kind of wrote them off at the time. You inspired me to give them a listen this afternoon. I've been listening to Curious Corn and am really enjoying it. Sadly, Tantric Obstacles wasn't an option on Google Play so I can't really vote in good faith, but I'm enjoying the one I could find so thank you! ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

| The Hawkwind-remember buying it right when it came out, when I was at University. |

I first heard of The Enid on this site, and they intrigued me very much. The Spell was the first album of theirs I bought and I was hooked. It is still my favorite. After that, Marillion. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I have purchased Misplaced Childhood the same day of Soft Machine's "Land of Cockayne"...and I have enjoyed both a lot. I remember exactly where I was and with whom the first time that I've listened to them. I've also played the whole Misplaced Childhood in a cover band...Of course that's my choice. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

IQ and the Ozrics are the ones that stand out for me. I'll give the underdogs the vote this time. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Hawkwind - COTBS, obviously..  Closely followed by The Enid. Must admit, I've not heard TD's Le Parc. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I love Misplaced Childhood, but The Wake is special. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |
