Ten Best Albums No One's Ever Heard (from the non-prog world)

[VERNIXX]

Here is my trippy little shortlist:

ELUVIUM-Copia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copia_(album))
Brilliant symphonic ambient beauty...utterly breathtaking and melodic. This is easily at the top of my list for friends who appreciate amazing music.

PHISH-Live Phish Volume 4 Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Phish_Volume_4)
Not your usual Phish/jamband shite...more like psychedelic ambient excusions and minimal prog-funk. They partook in ceremonial psilosybin-tea before the second set according to legend....

OTT-Skylon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_(album))
Psychedelic electronic dub filtered through a Goa lens. Simply amazing...chill and funky at the same time. And stunningly laidback...

SLINT-Spiderland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiderland)
Magnificent "math rock" or "post rock" or whatever the critics call it. Melodic, epic, reflective, and triumphant. Simple yet orchestral by virtue of purpose.

UNDERWORLD-Dubnobasswithmyheadman(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubnobasswithmyheadman)
Original progressive House music. REALLY there. On ONE before that meant pants. Cerebral, cosmic, and totally strange. The first wave of ravemusic shares roots with psychedelia and prog actually.

I have a stack of Eluvium I'm planning to donate to AM, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I have Spiderland too, as well as the EP, and I've thought of donating it, but it's a tad punkish and raw in places, and haven't decided yet. Think I should?
