Tai Phong - s/t from 1975 still has a special place in my heart.

Harmonium is Canadian.

^ Eskaton and Weidorje are awesome, but plenty I love in this list with Art Zoyd, Clearlight, Clivage, Heldon, Magma, Moving Gelatine Plates, Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes, Shub-Niggurath, Zanov and others I like. That said, it's an easy vote for the 2 star greatness of Kobaia. That is my favourite Magma album and what I consider to be one of the most outstanding debuts that I have heard. It's audacious as: a double-album with its own mythology and its own lexicon. To me it's so far above what the vast majority of others under the Prog umbrella put out as debuts in terms of being ambitious and adventurous and just bloody great to these ears. I don;t think Magma ever beat it. Even though ones like Harmonium, Pollen and Maneige are from French Canada, I would not have expected them. Magma is from France via Kobaia sort-of maybe. Anyway, Kobaïan hhaï cause it is so hundin, and vive la musique progressive français.

By the way, when I joined PA I think France was my favourite country for music, and Quebec rules for me in terms of Canadian music.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

No Weidorje or Eskaton?
If it was up to me I'd pick Poil, but from your list I'd say Heldon.

I rarely find something that beats Art Zoyd in a poll where they feature, but Bloom is just such a great, underrated album! (Many other good ones here, Clearlight, Kobaia, Pollen, Shub Niggurath...)

So is Maneige.



Too many outstanding stuff to vote, anyways.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,

rather than un-sheath our sword
