I've got 5: Second Life Syndrome, The Inner Mounting Flame, Still Life, Blackwater Park, and The Perfect Element. I was prepared to agree with you, Dennis, in my pick for favorite, but The Perfect Element may yet give it a run for its money |

I have 6 of these: The Snow Goose, Second Life Syndrome, Hamburger Concerto, Free Hand, ITLOGAP and Trick of the Tail.
The 1st 5 are all absolutely astonishing, with The Snow Goose being the best album of all time.

I have never owned the Riverside, Pain of Salvation, Phideaux, or Opeth. So basically I'm missing the modern stuff/ modern bands (and that would be same for me for lots of other of these polls, unless it's particularly RIO/Avant Prog and Zeuhl we're talking about, in which case I have lots of the more modern albums) |

Not in the slightest. Several years ago I gave a run through several of the samples we have here on the site, plus I've listened to a few Cluster albums, and have come to the conclusion that it'll be the one sub genre I'll never buy anything from. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

Most of them are real classics: - Renaissance - Scheherazade And Other Stories - Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame - Magma - KA - Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra - Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element Pt. 1 - Focus - Hamburger Concert - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - s/t Are in opr close to the level of masterpieces. And even when not my cup of tea, any Camel, Zappa, Al di Meola, Gong or Gentle Giant albums are albums any prog fan must have listened. Iván -------------

I understand what you mean. I gave Rubycon and some others a listen a few years back and was bored out of my mind. Wasn't until I hit the ripe age of 22 and I was looking for something ambient to listen to while programming at work that I picked up Rubycon again. I started listening to it while working and when going to sleep at night (weird, cool dreams!) and even on quiet rainny afternoons and now I can safetly say that I like prog electronic. Its definitely not active listening material (at least not at first), but it can really construct a mood and I dig it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

That kind of thing has never worked for me, when I want the more ambient type of thing I reach for early White Willow albums or something like Espers. I have the same problem with post rock bands like Godspeed, bore me to tears because nothing happens for minutes on end. I'm very proud of my multitasking ability in regards to listening to music whilst doing something else, but it does mean I have no tolerance for ambient music. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

That would be a deal breaker! You're right I don't think Electronic Prog is for you I wish I could multitask as well as you I usually break my focus or restart the song because I missed my favorite part.I actually have a tough time getting into Godspeed and some other post-rock bands too. Usually they're not chill enough to put in the backround but not interesting enough to hold my attention. The result is kind of an annoying wall of sound. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |
