The last time I ordered from Lasercd.com, one of the albums was out of stock. Which should I buy in its wake with the money left over from the order? I'm leaning Toscco right now. Also, keep in mind that I will ignore your vote unless you write something to defend it (only way I can get a sense of the albums themselves). Thanks. IPOF |

Ys.... you simply must have it.. my reviews suck.. but take a
gander at mine. I try to express why I love the album so much.
For what it's worth.. not once.. has someone got it on my recommend..
and failed to, at last like it,.... and most LOVE it. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

it's a painful decision because the four of those albums I've heard are all great and the other two have good reputations. I'm going to pick Toscco because j-zeuhl is love and I'm an otaku japanophile desu gomen nisai kawaiiiiiiii

לך על אבק
כולם ברשימה הזו טובים ואפילו מצוינים ואני לא אוהב לבחור בדרך כלל אבל אבק יצרו אלבום מרתק וברמה אחת עם מיטב הריו להקות אחרות.

^^^ Oh dear, I haven't done this in a long time. let's see... Go with Ahvak... It truly seems I've lost it. I get the gist though. Something about everyone liking it...? And thanks, I enjoyed that. |

And now for the English subtitles:
Go for Ahvak.
Everyone in this list are good and even excellent and I don't like to choose but Ahvak hace created a fascinating album which is in par with the best of the RIO bands.
But all other options are worthy.
Sotos will be interesting too with its influences from UZ and Present. If you go for that one, you will want to try Zaar as well.
Ys is an album which is a must have in my opinion.
Happy Family - Tosco is one hell of a ride, although quite different from the first s/t one.
TP is another favourite of mine. Great disharmonies.
But, if you want some crucial and fabulous album, go for U Totem - s/t.
The combination of Motor Totemist Guild and 5UU's.

I only know 4 of 6 (not famiiiar with the Balletto or Ashra discs) and within those I'd say you have a tough choice but a nice problem, since each one is solid gold. Whatever you choose, you won't go wrong. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

| Ys - from that list. It's the only one I've even heard of anyway. Having said that, it, along with many of it's contemporaries, are classics of it's genre and all early Italian prog should at least be investigated, if not listened to. For me it's the pot of gold in the shining light that is prog. |

I'm not a fan of In Extremis. I'd say go with the SOTOS album or Happy Family. -------------
