Interesting band that has a new album coming out soon. Seems the new millennium has been treating them good, they're on a streak of well-received albums. Which do you prefer most? ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Mei for me. I actually hate almost all third-wave prog, but this album somehow appeals to me. |

I much prefer their early period. Love the first two album along with Cowboy Poems Free which I voted for. The End Is Beautiful would makeup my top four by them. Could not get into As The World or MEI at all. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Suffocating The Bloom, just over The End Is Beautiful. Mei would be a comfortable third. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| Mei. Both self titled recordings are good too, first and the last. |

Hey, it's me who does the best from polls! Don't steal my practically non-existent thunder!  Just kidding. To be honest I haven't listened to enough of them to know what's my favorite. ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

| So many great albums but I thought the last one was the best thing they've ever released. High hopes for the new one! |

An amazing band with a stunning body of work, for the most part very distinctive and at times genius. As The World for me is a classic though, a modern/eclectic prog masterpiece. Mei is an outstanding piece of work but that's the difference for me, it's a piece of work whereas ATW is an album, regardless I'm surprised ATW didn't rank top flight clear winner here, I thought it was 'the one' for most folks! In any case it's the one I'd recommend to an Echolyn novice. Also a mention has to be made to the fantastic title track from The End Is Beautiful. At times the album is a little too alt-blues/country tinged for me but that track is indeed beautiful* especially its infectious chorus melody. The energy and genuine passion they displayed playing that live in London was keepsake memorable. That was a kick ass show, thanks Echolyn, can't wait for the new record, my copy of the signed CD pre-ordered  ------------- I can't remember what I said I lost my head. __________________________ |

Mei and ATW. Looks like I am in good company. I was so excited when ATW came out (20 years ago!!!?!), and on a regular record label, no less! For all the good that did them in the end... ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Mei is a great album, but echolyn is on top of my 21st century prog list. -------------

I'm so surprised that The End is Beautiful has no votes. That is probably one of my most played albums by these guys, if not the most. I was actually disappointed with their most recent self-titled album. Has some fantastic moments and songs, but it becomes way too samey by the second half. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |
