I only know three and Floating World is the best of those (Breathing the Storm and Distant Echoes are disappointing by comparison). Sorry, no vote. ------------- What? |

I'm most familiar with the Island albums (Floating World through to Way of the Sun) and Floating World gets my vote, with Kites a close second. The 4 Island albums were reissued as a 2 CD set a few years ago and I strongly recommend it. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

| I have some of their albums, I like them all, but I forget which one is which. Which one has Zanzibar, I like that song. |

After years of voyeurism on this site, I finally saw fit to get involved. Since Last Autumn's Dream is one of my absolute favorite albums, I thought it needed some support. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

2 weeks ago I buyed several albums in amazon and play.com (crazy cheap prices!) and I have just -yesterday & today-listened to Jade Warrior´s "Last Autumn Dream". After this I have few words to describe what I feel: Just only that Music is Magic. Amazing album made with mixtures from many founts and an incredible a great band playing beautiful songs. The result is a 5 stars. Can´t understand why there are so few answers in any JW thread. (and too many about the same bands sometimes)

Wonderful band. I love all their albums but Kites has always been a particular favourite of mine. ------------- ''Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.'' - Albert Camus |

| just rediscovering the 4 Island albums and it's close between the first "Floting World" and the last "Way of the Sun". I picked the latter partly because it has had no love up till now! |

| One page? Only one page!! I love Jade Warrior. For those who don't know them, there are two basic eras. Check them out. Their best two albums for me are Released (from their 1st era) and Floating World (from their 2nd era). They were a very innovative band, and one of the truest examples of Prog is or should be. |

Only know the island years. Of those I like Way Of The Sun the best. ------------- 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. |

That one's good. You might be surprised how coarse and crunchy the older Vertigo ones are. In addition to their musical complexity they have a great groove (I'm thinking especially of Barazinbar). They may have been the earliest band to have fiddled with world music too. They got a lot of their symphonic sound with droning distortion rather than mellotron or synth. Lots of dynamic contrasts too. You can find a lot of the older stuff on YouTube. |

It's good to see this thread coming out again since Jade Warrior are too overlooked here and would appeal to a lot of people here. They are very progressive and have so many styles fused together in an album. I only know the first 4 albums and my favorite is Last Autumn's Dream followed by Released. Here is just one side of the band that features their more rocky side. Check out the end before the 4 minute mark. |

| The arrangements get more complicated and extended with the second album. It's fascinating how they had no drummer (playing on an actual drum kit) on the first album just Jon Field who was both the flautist and percussionist. He did some of his percussion on the first album with drum sticks on a wooden stool. They got a drummer and a saxophone player on the second album, Released, but they left thereafter. The group actually got along without a conventional drummer for most of the time they were together. |

| I have to correct myself. The drummer, Allan Price was still with the band on Last Autumn's Dream. Apologies. |

| No mentioning to their latest album Now. I have listened to it only once but didn't get it, it felt a little inconsistent but maybe it was just varied, I have to check it again. |
