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.

This is the kind of open-ended list that I'll file under "There are so many  favourite albums that I don't even know where to begin". Maybe I'll do an alphabetical list, choosing one genre and one country, then at least there'll be no more than 25 albums, bearing in mind I don't know any solo artists beginning with the letter "X" - not unless I include Xavier Phideaux in my list. Smile

That's a short list by my standards. I have longer lists than that for Rick Wakeman and Tangerine Dream's albums alone. Tongue

It's just as well I didn't include all of my 4-star favourites too, or my list would've been at least five times as long. Wink

Hi,

These and many more have been a part of my collection for many years ... I would like to include more, like Holger Czukay for many satisfying albums. Peter Michael Hamel has some far out stuff, despite his writing work being somewhat ... off center due to his "intellectual" musings. Masayoshi Takanaka did a lot after the original SMB, and ended up being better known for a "jazzy" style, which the band had anyway! Yu Imai played with SMB and had 2 solo albums ... that are impossible to get and if so, their cost is astronomical as are so many of the Japanese imports ... any American company could reissue these things and make more than nothing from these things ... but it is likely that the Japanese are not allowing the licensing and not enough of the Japanese folks have licenses internationally, which hurts their music! Kitaro, was originally from the Far East Family Band, whose albums are neat! Kitaro is also neat, were it not for his association with "new age" even though he was there way BEFORE the so-called "new age". 

Vangelis, of course, was originally from Aphrodite's Child, though the inclusion into PA would only fit one album, their last ... but also ...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ... one of the first from the FATHER of Progressive Rock music ... Mr. Gomelsky whose discography is something that even PA can  not process to add his name to the list of Progressive Dignitaries ... he is an immense figure that stands out for having the ear to bring many folks together and work music!

Anthony Phillips deserves to be listed, although I'm not sure anyone would consider his material "progressive". But his immense library of work for TV, Film and otherwise, is incredible and more often than not a magnificent listen.

I've always thought Yonin-Bayashi was a band. I mean, all the sources in which I've read about Yonin-Bayashi referred to it as a "band".

My mistake. It's sometimes hard to tell whether they're solo artists or bands with those inscrutable Japanese names. Embarrassed

You're welcome.

BTW, regarding Stomu Yamash*ta's Go, it's a subject of debate whether it was a band, a project or a glorified solo thing from what I've heard.
