All great albums IMHO.

I bought Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes few weeks ago. Certainly not too approachable an album. However the more I listen to it the more it makes sense.

Lots of spins were also given to the soundtrack from the movie Piano by Michael Nyman...simply beautiful...

I just bought Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes a few (3) decades ago. It was certainly an approachable album then. A phonograph needle approached it so often that I wore out the first copy. I gave it to a friend and bought a second copy.

Ditto......I'm onto my third vinyl copy and second CD copy. The last re-release with the extended intro to TRSoG is amazing.

Still my favourite album of ALL time.

Before Tales my only albums by Yes were Fragile and Relayer...
Tales feels quite tranquil when compared to those.

ps.

I think therefore iMac

Ah, to be experiencing Tales anew...I envy you Lellu. Keep spinning it, it will amaze you more the more you listen! The last few minutes of Ritual shows Steve is capable of simply inhuman guitar work.

Rush: Snakes and Arrows
lots of people talk bad about this album, but I like it. Not Rush's best by a longshot, but a solid album nonetheless.

Tubular Bells is one of those albums that I need to listen to at least once a week or so.

The Snow Goose, by Camel, has held my interest since I first got it. It will always hold a special place in my heart as the album that got me into prog.

Gates Of Delirium is currently a track I'm addicted to.

Recently I've found mainstream music in general to be an enormous disappointment. The quality of the music seems inversely proportional to the band's popularity these days. Very sad.

today

Ben HArper and the blind boys of Alabama , no words to describe it !

a bunch of unreleased Frost*/Jem Godfrey stuff. awesome.

and there's going to be a second Frost* disc! yay! next summer.

Twelfth Night - Live at the Target. Recorded in 1981. Really good sound.
Threshold - Dead Reckoning. Latest offering from this Metalish band. Saw them recently at SEfest and loved them even though the vocalist is a different guy. Great performance.
Galahad - Empires Never Last. Another SEfest band. Superb songs.
Nick May - Whimwise. Amazing sound. Eastern avant garde feel from this band led by ex Enid guitarist Nick May. Fabulous.
Big Big Train - The Difference Machine. My dear friend Rogor Mortis put me onto this UK band and they have knocked me sideways with this, their latest release. A future classic. You can check out some of their songs at their home page or MyWaste.

I've written to them asking if they want to donate a CD to the station. I'm convinced that when you hear it you'll want to buy it.

Hipgnosis' "sky's the Limit" is good polish prog - I especially like "mantra"
Neal Morse's "?" absolutely blows me away, and "12" gives me chills
Fear of a Blank Planet - the more I listen, the more I like it, I play it at least once a week
Stupid Dream - ok, so I like P Tree! my favorites are Even Less, Smart Kid and Stop Swimming
Cyndee Lee Rule, UFOsmosis, apologies to a fellow moonite, but thumbs down on this one
