Heard them all but the new Plague and the Seffer (never heard any of the Zao solo stuff). Here's my ranking of the rest: Jannick Top Popol Vuh Zao Pinhas T Dream Ozrics P Tree Floyd (was always one of my least favs of theirs) ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Have to go with Obscured by Clouds since I only know that one and Voyager 34 and the latter isn't to my tastes. -------------

| Thinking Plague - probably album of the year for me & I've seen them perform significant chunks of it twice. |

I've ordered Shekina for xmas so I'll delay voting til I've heard it. But of the other ones, right now it's looking to be Pinhas, PT, and Ozrics as my tops (Of the ones I"ve heard) ------------- 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. |

Think I'll have to sleep on it. I loooove Obscured by Clouds and I find it to be grossly overlooked, yet I don't think it needs my vote in this poll....
May just have to vote for one of the odd curiosities inside the big sprawling Krautrock world. That Popol Vuh album is a real treat, and it is one of the only symphonic Kraut albums I've ever come across. I also very much enjoy what just might be The Ozrics most progressive outing. I don't have that Seffer one, but I've got his IMA which is just breathtaking. Thanks for reminding me about him John. Like I said, I think I'll sleep on this... ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I'm giving my vote to Jannick Top. I haven't listened to it in a while, but I enjoy it a lot. I actually know almost all of these albums too, quite a departure for me. I even have that Yoch'kp Seffer album. And I have a high regard for that new Thinking Plague album. But I feel like shooting for the Top tonight.

Let's call that a short nap...
I decided to go for Popol Vuh. Maybe it's just my mood lately, but I find so much 'meaning' in these albums. I also used to paint and draw a lot to this one. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Oh and thanks Scott for voting. What the heck happened to the Lions this year. They sure have some very high end pieces but obviously need help in places. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I know. I love that about it. It's so obvious and in your face. I really dig the album and the vibe they had back then. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

And ZAO's "Shekina" is their third studio album where they brough in that female string quartet who also play on the Seffer album "Gilghoul" i have listed in this poll. Troung's drumming on this ZAO album blows me away and this is a top three for me in this poll along with Top and Seffer's albums. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yes that is one of my favourite POPOL VUH albums and it's from 1974. Actaully that would be great music to paint to or to do anything inspiring. Or not.------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

The more I think of it, the more I think that that Pinhas album is my favorite of his solo works (that I've heard). The only one that approaches it is Metatron. And yes...the samples I heard had some standout drumming which is what made me want the album.

It is. The first time I listened to it I was driving down to deleware and it made the trip very enjoyable. Like waves underneath the car. And thanks! Ditto. Your reviews are always helpful as are these polls.

Alittle bit more appreciation to Richard Pinhas here. Although electronic music is not my cup of whiskey and I usually get bored, there is something about Pinhas that does click with me deeply, whether if it's Heldon or his solo stuff. And as you maybe already noticed I'm a huge fan of the Weidorje crew where ever they go, so this is an easy one. Along with Heldon this would be a good place to start with prog electronic (says the one who doesn't like prog electronic  ...), it's not that ambienty stuff, this one is more accessible. |

I personally enjoy earlier PT much more than their later stuff (Up the Downstair/Staircase Infinities in particular). I would go with Voyage on this one. But in order to enjoy it, you have to realize that Wilson is/was a huge Floyd fan, and was influenced in a big way by them at this period of his career. And he did not try to hide it on Voyage. If you enjoyed the Wall as much as I did, Voyage is a more psychedelic version of the Wall (yes, its possible). If you approach it this way it might be very enjoyable, on the right evening with good lighting

I gave Seffer my vote. A very Zeuhlish record with the bass player from Zao(Bertand) and Laizeau on drums and he's played with Magma, Offering and that "Paga" album by Paganotti. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
