I actually enjoy his second album "L" with Hurdy Gurdy Glissando in particular . The Utopia crew did well . ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Fish Rising is my personal fave, but he has made a lot of great records. Haven´t heard the one from 83, but he is consistently enjoyable throughout his carrier- including the Rainbow Dome thing which sees Steve mixing new age with electronic hippie love. What´s not to like

I like his live alum a lot. of his studio albums perhaps "Green" slightly in front of "Fish Rising" and "L"; "Motivation Radio" has its moments, but on the whole can not compete. Open sadly has only two good songs (the last two, which feature Dave Stewart). -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Green was always my favorite. Love the feel of that album. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Fish Rising and "L" are very close for me, but it's the atmosphere of the former that puts it slightly ahead. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Fish rising for me. Just wondeful!

Fish Rising and Green with Live Herald are all quality. Rainnbow Dome and Motivation Radio are good albums. Open is ok. I really can't listen to L mind, I think its the Utopian connection that ruins it.
Green gets the vote at this moment in time.

| green and fish rising are my very favorite ones motivation radio is very close, i must admit i was hoping for more about L because of rundgren and utopia ( RA is a great album isn't it? ) but it doesn't realy work even if it countains good stuff |

Hi, GREEN is one of the prettiest albums ever recorded ... with Nick Mason's hand of death at the controls ... it is very clean, and beautiful all the way, and blends the effects and moments nicely, like only PF could do! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Fish Rising and L, but a bit of Motivation never hurt. I got off the ride for Green and Open but I was back on board for For To Next. The song These Uncharted Lands is so incredible and when he played Nearfest he mentioned it as one of his favourites. I was soooo happy!!! Gong Angel's Egg has some great hillage licks going on... |

but it's just a matter of money, in fact mixing green and rainbow gives birth to ozric, don't you think?

Two stand out for me, Live Herald and Radio Dome Music.
The former is an outstanding live album. Great production and all the songs are better than the studio versions especially the mesmerising Lunar Musick Suite.
Radio Dome Music is one of the best ambient albums I own, and I still play it 30 years on, which must say something. I'll vote for this one as it needs some support.

All of these albums are excellent, but "Fish Rising", "Green" and "Rainbow Dome Musick" are real masterpieces. I do love "L" as well. |

Fish Rising over Green. Still need Rainbow Dome though.

I had to go with "Fish Rising" over "L" and "Motivation Radio" which are the only ones I own.
I also liked his playing on "Space Shanty" by Khan
Too bad he was only on two songs on "Shamal" by Gong.
