Progressive Electronic music?

Dave, I only know the album Eclipse. A fine album.

^The opening cut on that album is brilliant. Berlin school on coffee and amphetamine - in a hurry with frenetic drums and a fiercely paced sequencer. Possibly the fastest moving track of the genre methinks.

So I was asking myself which PE albums I'd recommend folks who want rawk with their music.

A great article here, especially for the less travelled where 70s electronic music is concerned:

This band has such an enormous catologue of music I doubt anybody has the whole lot!  I personally have 10 of theirs and I could not possibly recommend you start with Emissaries as it's the weakest of theirs I've heard.  Knutsford In May is probably the best cd I've got, recorded live under the dish at Jodrell Bank.  It just oozes atmosphere.  Solid States is a very good double album, a few weaker tracks but several gems.  The best music I've heard by them though is on the live dvd "M21".  The music really is exceptional - a 5 star electronic gem with plenty of spacey Floyd-esque sections.  Unfortunately it only appears available on dvd, a real shame.
