You're right, I haven't heard any of them.  Thanks for the offer, though.  Wink

That Phoenix is actually good, unlike the schmaltzy pop band.  I've only heard 3 of these albums though

My three favorites amongst these were the three with zero votes. Gave it to Cybotron on an impulse as I've been enjoying Colossus lately. Cheesy fun, but all in all I like Brave New World's one off much more.

Only one I've heard heard is that Vessels album a few times but I wasn't super impressed

I guess I'm most interested in Cybotron since it's E-Prog so that gets my vote

I know three:
Phoenix, Cybotron and Runaway Totem with a preference for the third, a mixture of Zeuhl and RPI

It is excellent.  

I picked Cybotron's Colossus because it sounds neat and the cover is vaguely Tarkusesque (and now that I'm hearing it on youtube, it's some pretty good '70s space prog) .

I often don't get the 'point' of half the polls here but I always end up discovering new music.

The Polyphony was re-released a couple of years ago. The Vessels and Thought Industry should be fairly easy to find. Probably the hardest to find would be Cybotron, Phoenix and maybe Brave New World.

FWIW, I'm a fan of all these albums. That's the 'point'.

I know 6 out of theseParty *Partaay*

Anyway, I voted for Brave New World seeing as it desperately needed some love. It also happens to be my favourite out of these...with Tasavallan Presidentti's Lambertland close behind.
