Regarding Masal, thanks John, I was using the Awesome Prog date since I made my list there. By the way, that was one of my favourite additions I was involved with on the Eclectic team when it was myself and Ricochet. Avestin suggested it as I recall. I used to listen to that album a lot. Anyway, I do have editing rights at AP so I might change the year there later when I can research and firmly establish the date (I have changed quite a few). I would rather it be more wrong at that site by someone else's hands than more right (i.e. closer to the proper date but still wrong) by my hands. The years that matter more still to me are earlier ones like the 60s. Like imagine if we all got it wrong somehow and instead of In the Court of the Crimson King being released in 1969 it was released years earlier... :) What often is more interesting to me than release date is recording date and form looking it up now, Masal was recorded in July of 1982 (that year I do recall for when it was recorded).

I knew you were going outside of your favourites. And like me, we both tend to like to list that which we care about, and with you, what often was in rotation as I recall (an interesting and systematic approach to listening). I sometimes like to do ones not based on my favourites, it can be interesting to figure out how one is going to determine which ones to cover. I have done ones based on charts, or based on the first names to spring to my mind whether I like them or not. I find it fun to come up with different approaches, and experiment a bit, and hopefully do something bit different from any others who have made polls. And it can be nice to know I am not just doing many of the same old names I've covered in polls here many times over the years. I like Yog Sothoth, Bondage Fruit (of course as it's in my list) and Gunesh Emsemble (listened to them the other day) a lot.

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 really like the album cover as well for Masal. But man what an incredible piece of music. Originally released on vinyl so it was part one and part two of Masal, whereas my cd has it in one long 40 something minute song.
I would have been proud to have gotten him on this site too. A special record.
Anyway I wasn't disputing anything here as far as the release date goes, I just found the information interesting for my own personal notes.

^ It is incredible.

By the way, dates do matter to me and for archives it is significant. On a side-note, commonly recorded dates are much more important to me than released dates with many archival releases (not released until much later). I wish we could easily search PA's albums by recorded date (and searching PA albums by year too could be easier and improved too with broader scope -- and I would like to be able to search PA by month of release, or even month and day if that info is available).

It's an interesting topic. Do you go by release date or recording date? Gnosis is a site you probably have been on. All their dates are recording dates. So archival stuff goes where it should.

I usually go by released date other than with archival releases, often I try to recognise both. I would like both things to be very visible (like on the main artist discography page) and searchable. I have visited Gnosis, but not for many years except very briefly. I will check it out, thanks.

This site would be incredibly complicated if it was mine with so many features and a lot of redunancy. It might be very ugly. It might be rather like the Homer Simpson designed automobile of music sites.
