I've voted for all your favourites, as I forgot to allow the multiple voting to begin with.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

There's no need for multiple voting for me as I only know Clearlight's album. Embarrassed

That's a really great album and good beginning. Tongue

Hi,

ANGE belongs in a completely different setting to these bands. They were very "theatrical" which came from the Brecht/Weill cabaret styled thing, and then was also visible via Jacques Brel, also a theatrical singer. The rest of the listing (other than CLEARLIGHT) would be considered a lot less valuable, as a performer, when compared to the these.

ANGE's first 6 or 7 albums are a must have and specially TOME 6 ... a live album. The sad thing is that no clean videos of the early days seem to have come through well, and often sound terrible, but when yo hear TOME 6, you immediately go ... this band is excellent, and knows how to put on a show.

Missing in this listing, is ALAN STIVELL that many of us can't handle. The material is very political, and not something that progressive folks like. We prefer the fairies and the weird and the "out there" that none of us can reach ... but the band being from the Brittany area (NW France if I am not mistaken) ... has some really far out material that deserves a listen. However, when you hear "Before Landing" you will understand right away the intense dislike, and the history of the folks in the area. It's a wonder it is not an independent country ...

CLEARLIGHT was to become a part of the "new age" thing, and while the material was nice, I thought it was too artistic to be considered "New Age". Very nice stuff, but within this poll both them and ANGE would likely be the more recognizable.

I'm not sure about PULSAR or how it was missed. MAGMA would likely rip this poll apart!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Atoll (F) - L’Araignee-mal (1975)

I must admit I don't know some of these, but I love Campo Di Marte, so it gets my vote.

The first three (Ange, Atoll, and Atila) are all BIG winners for me!

Crucis > Atoll > Atila > Ange. I want to be more like the moon, but with more breadboxes.
