Too many great lesser thans . . .
Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds
- On first listen, I couldn't believe that this was the brothers Floyd. This album just knock you out of your seat from the start. Quite a great soundtrack for a really awful film. Umagumma gets runner up for Pink Floyd. That whole first disc is so full of great material. Actually, hmm that would fit in nicely for another show down the line . . .
Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets
- While not up to the same epic level as Tiger Mountain or Another Green World, this is packed with solid songs showing off Brian's twisted humor and musicality. Key contributions on here from Fripp and other friends of Eno. It took a while to build up for me, but now I just can't help but love the album every time I put it on.
while not completely prog -
Bjork - Selmasongs
- For an almost EP length album, this one packs a wallop. Mixing Bjork's obsession with everyday rhythmic sounds and some heart-rending melodies, this is an essential album for me. Overture, Cvalda, and My New World are just some amazing stand-out pieces.
