Sorry - couldn't resist.

My top 5.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.

Chronometers
These are probably my favorites, but it's a hard pick. If you get these, I think you have a bit of everything from their output.
Then get the rest. Bandwith is my least favorite.

Okay, everyone. I got Manna / Mirage for Christmas and I'm loving it. Thanks!!

You'd probably want to hear either Chronometers (pre-debut demos and outtakes of very good sound quality; the lengthy title track in particular shows the path directly towards M/M) or the outtakes/live/leftover comp Open City. The latter features two of my fave recordings by an American progressive band ever, namely the anarchically structured frenzy of "Boxed and Crossed" and the 13-minute "Not Alone", containing some of the most death defyingly bold live performances I know (with some of the gutsiest drumming imaginable from a "rock" group).
I love 185 as well, but it's perhaps a bit more, er, "deliberately" out there as far as pure weirdness goes. I couldn't say which of these albums are still in print on CD, though.

^ I'll probably end up getting it all at some point. The Muffins are my kind of band!

English Muffins are the best, not those horrendous blobs of fat and sugar Starbucks sell as 'Muffins'.
