it absolutely is and it is one of my very favourite albums of the year. Leaving it off was due to carelessness.

Kind of surprised that you didn't find any to mention or wanted to mention that you like in the list, John (maybe just not much free time to list those), no worries, though, but I do like all three acts, and Zyma definitely would have made the list had I Thought of it, and Ghilgoul too (I did not put enough time into making my lists at AwesomeProg). Definitely those are ones that I have put in polls before. I will add both to the polls.

MY lists at AwesomeProg are works in progress, and I am very glad for people to not only try to list and vote for albums they like in the list but also mention ones that are off of it. Those I might even know and like more than listed mentions of mine. Sometimes the year is off or I just failed to research/ search for / remember. I am pretty sloppy / disorganised.

Anyway, as said, people can vote for three or more or less. I wish we did not have to vote once at at a time and would just tick off the ones we want to vote for the first time. This forum could have a better multiple choice option.

And I should have done Kraftwerk as Kraftwerk - Die Mensch·Maschine / The Man Machine. Either release is fine. I actually, myself, prefer this in English.

oops, I should have voted for Kraftwerk over Tangerine Dream so ended up voting for 4 albums!

Some others I like from '78

Atila- Reviure
Yockh'o Seffer- Ghilgoul
Zyma- Thoughts

Bubu, Magma, and National Health's s/t. My exoskeleton is made out of mustard and Reynolds numbers.

1. Michael Hoenig – Departure from the Northern Wasteland

2. Kraftwerk – Die Mensch-Maschine

3. Bubu – Anabelas

4. Tangerine Dream – Cyclone

5. Jean-Michel Jarre – Équinoxe

^ Thanks guys. And the Nina Hagen is indeed an awesome album. I adore "Naturtrane". It gives me serious Focus' Hamburger COncerto meets GIorgio Moroder's Cat People (Leopard Tree Dream) vibes.



By the way, here is presdoug's list from his recent poll for ease of reference as I intended this to be complementary to his altogether different list (Hemispheres is in my longer Awesome Prog list, but none of the others from this list, and I'm something of a maximalist so a much longer list from me... I would have liked longer):

Giger Lenz Marron - Where The Hammer Hangs
Genesis - And Then There Were Three
PFM - Passpartu
Gunter Fischer Quintet - Combination
Rush - Hemispheres
Budgie - Impeckable
Wishbone Ash - No Smoke Without Fire
John Mclaughlin - Electric Guitarist
Passport - Sky Blue (Ataraxia)
