Matt, This is an excellent topic. I recommend the following: 1) Steve Hillage's solo endeavors, namely Fish Rising 2) Brian Eno's stuff (Taking Tiger Mountain esp.) 3) Gong (stuff with Steve Hillage, I think, is better) 4) King Krimson 5) Rennaisance 6) Can 7) Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting esp. One other of note, but you may not like as much (although I do), is Aphrodite's Child's album 666. It features Vangelis on synths and percussion, and is quite good IMHO.

Dude, gotta take this to the Orb forvm...I'm a big prog rock fan. But here's my top ten (In no particular order): 1. King Crimson - Red Any of the KC albums from this line up are money...Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black 2. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway I think Eno helped out with this one. One of the most sophisticated and bizarre concept double-albums. Tony Banks is underrated as an electronic music influence. 3. Gong - You 4. Can - Tago mago OR Future Days 5. Fripp and Eno - No Pussyfooting or Evening Star 6. Soft machine - Third The orb needs to do a remix of these guys 7. Neu! - 2 8. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells 9. Pink Floyd - Take yer pick...I like PF at Pompeii on DVD 10. Yes - Time and a Word/Close to the Edge Most people I know hate Yes, and have nothing to do with the Orb, but I still think they were awesome. The Bill Bruford/Chris Squire rhythm section is the shit. Yer Pal, Gel-Sol www.gel-sol.com
