I think of Dragon's album as one of the better European Prog works from the second half of the 1970s, but also reflecting 
the changes to come when compared to the first half. Here's a sample of it:

Guruh Gipsy's sole album from 1977 is only little known on PA but not so little appreciated internationally. With its strong influences 
of the Indonesian traditional, Gamelan music, it's a very rare Prog album, and which I find very exiting. Here's the first track of it:

Bo Hansson's Sagan om Ringen is a particular favourite of mine. I also like that Heldon very much, and I have enjoyed the Far East Family Band, Flower Travellin' Band and Guruh Gipsy.

An interesting list.....I have a cd of Ache  which I like , it reminds me of Julians Treatment.,,,a favorite of mine.
I own several copies of the original  first vinyl by FM-Blacknoise....but have yet to see the second  (at one point this record store near me had 3 copies in the bins for $5 each of Blacknoise.)
I have heard  Heldon and Hanson but only own later things by them, and have some tracks by Flower Travelin band on a compilation of hard psych rock.
Dont know the others.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

The reason for I've got Headroom is the special, direct to disc recording, and I've never heard Black Noise, yet - but I know, it's higher rated both on PA and RYM than Headroom.

I've heard some of Black Noise by now, but I don't like it better, as it's like proto-Neo while Headroom is in line with classic Prog, and it has grown well on me.


Very different stuff

Black Noise is a sci-fi themed album (and extremely well-recorded/produced  by Terry Brown: Rush & Max Webster)./ It's also my fave because it's the only one with Nash The Slash. 

Headroom was almost totally forgotten because never reissued (both on vinyl and CD) until some seven years ago. The original Direct To Disc was pressed in very limited quantities back then. They recorded the same two sidelong tracks four times each and selected which was better  to release. I suppose each version was probably fairly different, because the two selected versions sound somewhat improvised at times. 

They could still release a full-session boxset. 
I suppose that the other three versions still exist somewhere in a basement

Out of a handful of good picks for me, Satori and Sagan om Ringen are the two I feel like mentioning. Both of which I've owned and loved for a couple of decades by now, and still listen to every once in a while.

FM. My right foot is my underbrain, left foot forward, elbows in camel code, bring my shoulder blades together and slowly breathe through my armpits.
