Yes, there's no doubt Guapo's first album was very challenging, to put it kindly. Smile

Thanks. I'll have a rummage around in the Lush Attic tomorrow for the next debut album in the poll. Smile

Don't waste your time listening to this tuneless punk dross. It's so bad, it's not even worth taking the time to post an album link or video. Guapo? It sounds more like guano. It's no surprise that no one voted for Towers Open Fire in the poll.  It's the worst album I've heard since Therion's dreadful Death Metal debut, although with my somewhat bizarre tastes in music, some may wear it as a badge of honour that I don't like the album. Tongue






The place to start with Guapo is their 5th album 5 Suns that is a modern masterpiece, their early albums aren't representative of their later sound.

That's good to know. Thumbs Up

Meanwhile, back on Planet Prog, it's time for some Swedish Flower Power from  The Flower Kings as they travel Back in the World of Adventures for the release of their mythical debut album. Would you Adam & Eve it? I really like this debut from Roine Stolt & Co, despite being unimpressed by The Flower Kings previously. Hug

You can always change the soup to something you like, but be careful if it's a thicker soup. It has the same effect as filling up a washing machine with 25 pairs of jeans. Your washer will need a seat belt to keep it from wandering around the room.

I wouldn’t necessarily agree with Wiki calling them demo albums, and think perhaps fan-only releases might be more accurate. But in a very real sense, their fourth release was effectively their debut album for most people. It makes sense to me, that that would be the one Paul used for his poll.

Thanks. It's also spared me having to listen to the Cardiacs first three unofficial albums. Smile

I can take your post in a few ways. 
1. Your vague answer says that you think wiki is more credible than PA.
2. You think I'm not worth an answer, so you keep it vague.
3. You avoid an answer altogether. 
I'll go for Option #3 - the safest and most diplomatic answer, hopefully. Wink

Which album did you listen to? The album listed in this poll is actually their fourth album according to PA.
 

I listened to A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window, which is listed as the Cardiacs first "proper" album on Wikipedia. Smile

Thanks.
 
When I looked through the poll list, I didn't really notice which Cardiacs album was listed, assuming it to be the debut according to PA. Either way, I'm not familiar with the album, though I am familiar with the album that follows A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window.
 

 
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.
