Not allowed to vote, but Cottonwoodhill is one of the greatest albums ever, by any nationality.
Honourable mentions go to Alpha To Omega, Krokodil & Island (with the fantastic cover by H.R. Giger).

Not much here for myself so Island by default. Good album though. I would have much preferred Stephan Thelen and/or Sonar.

I had a feeling my lowest-rated album would win the poll.

Yeah, I really wish Sonar were included.

I definitely went for Circus' debut over Island.


Yes, Thelen's latest works are stunninf and Mik Bartsch's different groups have been very solid over the last 20 years.

AKKU Quintett (don't know why they're not in PA's DB) is also quite OK
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If it was "Movin' On" by Circus it would have been an easy decision.

The début is more in the Gnidrolog type... and their third Sleepless Tearless is almost as good as Movin' On

Count Blue Motion as their fifth album, after their Live All-Star
