Peter Hammill - Over
92

Best breakup album OAT? Maybe

Strawbs - Hero and Heroine
93

One of my favourite symphonic prog albums. All songs named autumn are awesome,.

High Tide - High Tide
95

I LOVE BLANKMAN CRIES AGAIN! I LOVE BLANKMAN CRIES AGAIN! I LOVE BLANKMAN CRIES AGAIN!

I sleep to this album, to dronyness is sooooooo gooooood, both for listening and sleeping.

Fruupp - Future Legends
70

Decision is so damn cool, with that scream and one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard!

Clear Light - Clear Light
87

Very, very good stuff, but also very varied. Street singer is a goddamn sledgehammer for 1967(!!!!!). Night sounds loud is my other fav of this one.

England - Garden Shed
95

How quaint :) Such a shame these guys never ended up with much fame for their work. Really, one of my favorite niche prog albums.

Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial
70

It's alright, Julia is the only stand out track.

Twenty Sixty Six And Then - Refelections on the Future
94

Very good, found this on a youtube search for obscure prog some years ago and was utterly amuzed by Autumn, which I feel together with Reflections On The Future (which has one fucking banger of an ending BTW, holy shit!) is the greatest these guys have to offer on this record. Geff Harrison has a great voice, very unique! The production is sub-par, but for such an obscure 1972 record it's hard to fault it really, and all the playing is great.

Pell Mell (II) - Marburg
79

Whimsical and strange! How fun isn't Friend? Moldau brought me in to this album only and was a bit dissapointed the rest didn't sound like it, but seeing as it isn't an original track it makes sense.

Peter Hammill - Nadir's Big Chance
72

It's good, standing on its own as a confident album, but to me it is unremarkable compared to other Hammill works.

Peter Hammill - Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night
90

Very dark. I hope they kept the dude away from pieces of rope during this time.

Peter Hammill - A Black Box
80

Flight is the greatest piece of songwriting of all time and Jargon King may come up second... Thats how crazy good this dude is! Sadly, apart from the lyrical aspect I do not enjoy this record as much as I should.

Nektar - Journey to the Centre of the Eye
83

Nektar sadly peaked at the very beginning of their career with songs like Astronauts Nightmare, Countenance, and most of the second half of this album, Burn Out My Eyes to Death of the mind.

Nektar - Remember the Future
74

I do not like it very much. Kinda dull as prog-epics go, it feels like retracing the steps of CTTE without ever bothering to ask what made it so good.

Pink Floyd - Meddle
80

Echoes is the only real heavy hitter on this one I think. Not a bad album, just middling (meddling) compared to other PF records.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
85

I dread the word "overrated", but... I do think it's good, and Time is one of Floyd's greatest works ever.

King Crimson - Red
96

I think starless could be the greatest song of all time, I say and join the crowd.

Flower Travellin' Band - Satori
90

Oooooh yeah! Japanese metal from 1971?! How much better does it get?

Peter Hammill - Thin Air
96

Understated horror; this is one heavy album, emotionally draining to the max and then some. The Mercy has an incredible refrence at the very end: "I must go outside and I might be some time" being the last words of Captain Oates before wandering out of his tent on the south pole never to return in a vain attempt to save his companions during the disasterous Terra Nova Expedition.

Peter Hammill - Enter K
87

I've yet to hear all of Hammill's catalogue (so fucking big ;)), but this HAS to be a stand out of his new wave work. Don't feel like I have to praise his songwriting as his name is enough to signify its quality. My fav is Happy Hour, will have to play it during an actual happy hour at least once.

"@frogofprog Posted my review. I like it less overall, but there are more mediocre songs on Journey than Tab; the first half of this album is kindof... meh, I just love the aformentioned songs so much it makes up for it."
