Eskaton are a bit over the top after a few listens. I think fiction is their best
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

All the three equally
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I don't know Eskaton - 4 Visions. I have and like Dün - Eros. I don't have but have listened to Weidorje - Weidorje which I quite liked. I think I'll decline from voting, at least for now.
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ We posted in the same minute. Both are great.

Thanks, Greg. I feel the same way. 4 Visions and Eros are a step beyond Weidorje. I still haven't made up my mind.


Both are wonderful albums, and really, my favourite depends on which I am listening to at the time. I have played Eskaton that much more over the years because some of those grooves work so well with certain activities. I really appreciate music hugely from Eskaton's first three albums, although 4 Visions is the ultimate masterpiece album methinks.

Almost the exact same for me, except that I landed on Eros. It's become one of my favorite "work to"-albums, so I listen to it quite often. I know it like the back of my hand by now, but it's still always a fresh and exciting listen.

4 Visions

in that order

Eskaton: 4 Visions
Dün: Eros
Weidorje: Weidorje

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I've always thought that beside Magma' classic albums, this three albums are quintessential to the zeuhl:

Eskaton: 4 Visions
Dün: Eros
Weidorje: Weidorje
