    Hmm... I thought the reviews said sound was wonderful.. packaging not so... I could care less about packaging..

    If you are allergic to the typical 'to loud' 'to much compression' 'no dynamics' stuff than stay away from them.
    Otherwise, at least for me, the sound good enough. And at that price you can't complain anyway.

    I don't think it's out jet, but the demos on myspace sound really great.

    I once saw the third Zara-Thustra album in a store in Cologne. I still regret not buying it, just because I allready had bought a lot of CD's and I didn't want an album on vinyl, though I suppose their stuff will never be released on CD.

    "Ritter der neuen Zeit" shoudn't demand more than 10 to 15 EUR for a near mint copy (and should be easy to find)

    I somehow remember a CD (CD-R?) set of everthing recorded by Zara-Thursta sold by Berthold Weindorf himself.

    Maybe you should ask here:

    Frank Zappa: Lumpy Gravy, Sleep Dirt and Orchestral Favourites. There’s way more of his stuff I don’t own, but of the stuff he produced in his lifetime that I don’t have, those are the only ones I really care about.

    Some of Embryo’s more “essential” albums, such as Steig aus and Rocksession. Funny, because I really like them, and enjoy “lesser” albums like Surfin’ and Bad Heads and Bad Cats immensely. (And I want to turn the cover to the latter into a T-shirt!)

    Kenso: Utsuroi yuku mono. Their only studio album I don’t own.

    I do not have a copy of Bad Heads and Bad Cats either... have heard good things but stopped my collection prior to that one
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Steig aus is the only Embryo album I have.

    There's tons of stuff I don't have, but the only thing I feel is missing at this time is Snakefinger's Manual of Errors. That will be a tough one to find at a decent price. I suppose the same goes for Causa Sui's The Summer Sessions.

    I'd like the big box of Dark Side of the Moon, some more King Crimson Collector's stuff, and Jade Warrior's stuff from their Island period, but I've learned that unless I am hot to hear stuff, I should hold off until I actually am.

    More missing items, not counting live albums, which I generally consider superfluous luxury items, anyway:

    XTC: Drums & Wires, definitely one of those, “I just never got around to buying it” items, as I have all of their other studio albums (including the very sucky Wasp Star). Plus the Dukes of Stratosphear albums, if you count those.

    Camel: The Single Factor, plus any of the 90s or later albums.

    Grobschnitt: I don’t own Illegal or Razzia. Everyone complains about how much Razzia sucks, but I can’t imagine it being worse than Kinder + Narren, which is one of the worst albums by a prog band in the 80s ever!

    Renaissance: Time-Line. We’re talking serious “OCD completism” here!

    Supertramp: Famous Last Words and Brother Where You Bound. CDs of these have become elusive of late, especially the latter.

    Magma: Merci, plus any of the reformation albums.

    Pekka Pohjola: Changing Waters and Pewit. I wonder if I ought to include Sinfonia No. 1 here, as it’s such a ridiculously obscure release that no one seems to own!

    Michael Mantler: The Hapless Child and Other Inscrutable Stories. on CD. Rypdal, Wyatt, Jack DeJohnette, etc.
    but its OOP and too expensive second hand. I hope they re-release it. I have it on LP so I shouldn't complain.

    Cybotron - Colossus (outrageous marketplace seller prices)

    The Tangent - Pyramids And Stars (are they ever going to reprint this?)

    Frank Klare - Transcental Medication

    Yes - Union Live (the limited 2-DVD version, I recall it was about fifty bucks when first released)

    Jethro Tull - 20th and 25th anniversary boxes (basically the only two official JT/IA releases I don't actually own, although much of that material is now available on other releases)

    Marillion - Curtain Call boxed set

    Gentle Giant - Civilian (I already have Playing The Fool, so no need to repurchase that "two-fer" just to get Civilian, which is hardly essential by any stretch of the imagination)

    I would say Illegal is still ok, not as good as the 70s albums but ok. Razzia I think was an attempt to make pretty much the same album
    again, it just didn't work. The titeltrack (8 min+) is a spinoff from Solar Music and rather good.

    If you think Kinder + Narren ("Wie der Wind" was a minor hit in Germany) is their worst, you obviously have not heard the follow up Fantasten.

    The only Album they made in the 80s that can be recommended is Sonnentanz Live, a totally new version of Solar Music now with vocals
    (not as good as the original, but I really like it)

    I am still missing one of the "Lothar And The Hand People" CDs. I am pretty sure that it is completely out of print.
