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). |

Have not heard most here, but I like the two star Island album.

Not much here for myself so Island by default. Good album though. I would have much preferred Stephan Thelen and/or Sonar. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

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

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 |

I should've gone to Specsavers.

If it was "Movin' On" by Circus it would have been an easy decision. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

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 . ------------- 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 |
