Nice pick!
It is, indeed. In actuality, "The Stellar Nursery" is an album that begins softly, mellowly, and almost 'symphonic' with the use of an acoustic guitar before abruptly transitioning into floating spacey music featuring the soaring electric space-rock guitar, drums, and dreamy synthesisers.

Zoltan is so far the only Progressive Electronic act that I found interesting. :P Plus, it features Andy Thompson of Planet Mellotron.

Hi,

All these listed and many more ... I can't even remember some, but many of these I can still see, feel and remember!

Vietgrove is very nice.

These are all amazing. Dr Faust and Around About Midnight I just think about as something else - or something so much more than Progressive Electronic. And for some reason JM Jarre is placed in Prog Related here? Which feels on the same level of stupid as having Vangelis there.

Yep the J M Jarre designation is very strange. Imagine a very fake Monthy Python style French accent - '' Monsieur Jarre, I am afraid to say that your pathetic attempt at being progressive has been deemed a 'fail' by the PA electronic music team. I declare you a charlatan!''

Alright, I mentioned Zoltan. But now you can add Cybotron to the list. That'd make it the total of two Progressive Electronic bands that I like now.

I would put Heldon - Stand By way up on this list if I felt it was a pure PE album. But it is way too eclectic to be in the some competition.

also I only compared his post to the one on page one and made no mention of Svetty.  He seems to have inadvertently dobbed himself in LOL

Well, it happened that someone had already called me "Swettie" on another thread. As it occurred, I'm aware of the person you guys referred to as "Sweetie" here as well as on Progressiveears. It's Svetonio, a Serb I know from the Steve Hoffman forums, where we had a pleasant chat on progressive music topics. I've been informed that he was banned from this site several years ago and that dozens of characters were accused of being his clones and banned as well. Btw, Svetonio is an active and well-known member of the Steve Hoffman forums.

actually a couple of overlaps it seems, a bit careless that.

Lumenko stops posting on January 1st. Moyan emerges late February.

Also the exact same use of parenthesis for the album names , just a coincidence?

Thus, you found a bit dodgy this two-month gap between Lumenko's last post and my initial one, and you're leery of the way we both correctly use parentheses for the album names. Fair enough, but somewhat off-the-wall, innit?
