I'm playing the debut now for the first time and noticed that it's more bluesy or maybe even more straight-forward than the later stuff that was more medieval, as you said...though I still hear some of that here ("Isn't It Quiet and Cold" is on now). The oldest one I'd heard up till now was Octopus.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
