Definitely an excellent band Doug! Of course I haven't heard all of them or even half of them' but I would go with Cross-Collateral just a little bit over Doldinger. I need to revisit my other vinyls too. 
So.....Triumvirat or Passport?

	^^It's interesting to hear what you guys discovered the band with. For me, it was a used lp copy of Looking Thru i bought in January, 1988. I was so impressed!

	They're all great, but I go with Cross Collateral, probably because it was the album I discovered the group through. I love everything they did through Infinity Machine, and after that for me Passport ceased to exist. Later Passport has some good moments but nothing like the albums above.

	I still have only heard those 2 I bought a few months ago, Second Passport and Cross-Collateral. Of those two, I'll give a slight edge to Second Passport, but I enjoy them both.

	German jazz-rock band Passport is one of my all time favourite bands. And their output from the seventies is their best period, as far as I am concerned. To pick a single favourite was not easy for me, as i consider all records up to and including Iguacu to be five star records-yes, they are that good. I finally decided on the debut album, Doldinger. It has such a great style and really interesting vibe to it, real travelling music that i never grow tired of. What is your best one from this list? Edited by presdoug - April 22 2016 at 20:15
