Your top 10 Progressive albums of all time

Recommended Posts

I don't think a single Progressive album made it to the lists in the other thread, so here's one for those. Progressive and Minimal has been brought up quite a lot lately, so I'm more than a little curious to see what albums you guys like :P

 

Picking albums was hard as many of the best tracks only made it to vinyl and compilations, but my list ended up looking like this:

 

Atmos - Headcleaner

Auricular - Audion

Beat Bizarre - Lewd

Cujorius One - The Art of Mindfucking

Haldolium - Deagua

K.U.R.O. - Satisfaction

Noma - Navigator

Process - One Drop or Two?

Shiva Chandra - Auricular

X-Dream - Radio

I'm not yet at home in the progressive department, but from what I have purchased/listened to so far my favorites are:

 

Vibrasphere - Archipelago

Nerso - Exploration Of Infinity

Ovnimoon - Magnetic Portal

Highpersonic Whomen - Alternative Energysource

Solar Fields - Earthshine

Etnoscope - Way Over Deadline

Koxbox - The Great Unknown

Son Kite - Colours

12 Moons - Solid State

 

If anyone has some recommendations (really modern stuff too please...), shoot! I'm kinda getting into prog these days. Fits the hot weather like a glove! (hehe) The cool thing I discovered about prog is that there's sooooo many different kinds of moods to be found in it...

In basic order of favorite:

 

Atmos - Headcleaner

Beat Bizarre - Mukharv

Sensient - The Space Between

Solar Fields - Random Friday

Phony Orphants - Symphony

Klopfgeister - Sweet Compromise
Krumelur - Minimal Animal

Protonica - Form Follows Function

S-Range - 2001

Stereofeld - Frequenzweschel

 

 

(I didn't include X-Dream - Radio, Double Dragon - Continuum, Psysex - Hardcore Blastoff, Solar Fields - Earthshine, Koxbox - The Great Unknown, and Hux Flux - Cryptic Crunch because they don't really seem like progressive to me - more like techy, minimal/maximal psytrance - but they are among my favorite albums ever)

True. I've always found it wierd how some seem to almost categorically deny it's existence. Growing up being a huge fan of Metal led me on a journey though the world of guitar-driven music. From the earliest blues recordings to the abstract vistas of extreme Metal. Always on the hunt for something new, something different. I just cannot fathom how some people can stick to a single subgenre for years and years. It seems fundametally at odds with the basic curiosity it takes to discover such a thing in the first place. Sure Progressive isn't Goa, but Goa isn't Progressive either. They each hold their own unique qualities and potential.

Thos above are all great (esp X-Dream - Radio) but I would insist on having Nerso - Explorations of Infinity (2011) in the top 10 (even in the top 3 according to me).
