These are albums from 1972, 1982 and 1992. One vote. I will be giving my vote to either Ys, Hybris or Caravanserai. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I love the Tangerine Dream, Frank Zappa, Art Zoyd and After Crying albums. All quite special to me, and hard to decide between them. I vote After Crying because I believe they will have the hardest time to win votes, but they deserve them! ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

Half of these have been special to me (including all of the 70s ones)... It's most between the Tangerine Dream, Art Zoyd and Zanov to me now, and I will go with Zanov's In Course of Time in time, of course. It actually could have been the other two, but badly playing with the words. ------------- 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. |

I was hoping at least one person would vote for After Crying, so thanks! Same with Gevende on the last poll, but no takers yet on that one. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Much overlap in our tastes here, as even my favourite is probably Space Shanty, I'm also fond/very fond of Ys, Hybris and Caravanserai. Also Landberk's Riktigt Akta (not Lonely Land). ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Now, this is a strange one.... Signals was incredibly important to me around 83... nothing touched it. Images & Words the same in 92... nothing touched it. Today? Well, I'd have to choose Space Shanty, narrowly over Zeit. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Went for Ys; the album that sees The Mars Volta teaming up with ELP, Amon Düll ll and an Italian Arthur Brown on vocals!

Images & Words is one of my favourite albums of all time, and gets my vote!😎 ------------- Heaven is waiting but waiting is Hell |

 Funny how things change. Zeit has no votes but plenty of mentions.------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

That's where my vote went as well. There's something hazy about this album. I don't know how to describe it. But it's right there with that Alphataurus album, my two all timers from Italy. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Funny you mention Riktigt Akta because I played these back to back a year or so ago and found myself more into Lonely Land. I've always said in the past that the one with the Swedish vocals is better. Anyway I have both so... ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

yes, Zeit is unique, even among the TD albums... a double album of four, incredibly slow atmospheric, minimalistic movements isn't everyone's cuppa and I have to be in the mood for it, but it does get under your skin. I have the Special Edn with the similar Klangwald on the reverse, and I can't listen to them both, back to back. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

I do hope the part two comes out pretty soon, John. I got a list ready, and it will be interesting for me to see which I remove due your choices. I have some guesses, but I don't want to influence your list by mentioning any. There are many albums that I love from 2002, 2012 and 2022.  I'm enjoying your series with or without accompanying polls by me.------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I've also got Lonely Land, and I'd say it has some pluses compared to Riktigt Akta, but in total I prefer Riktigt Akta - not least due to the Swedish vocals. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
