I got really into that record as a teenager. A lot of it I took apart and reassembled on mix tapes. Then later in life, after I finally got it on CD I started taking it in as a whole. I love it. Although I usually only listen to half of it at a time. That's the way I do all my double CDs since I'm too disorganized to ever find two together.

1. Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced?
2. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
3. The Who - Who's Next
4. Deep Purple - Made in Japan
5. Gong - Gong's Angel Egg Trilogy(I consider it one big album)
6. Slayer - Hell Awaits
7. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
8. Cream - The best of Cream
9. Primus - Frizzle Fry
10. Soft Machine - Soft Machine 2

That Van der Graaf Generator album is my favorite prog album, ever. I think it flows with the best of em (Crimson King, etc.)

Boud Deun... I don't know much about them. But the album is basically flawless. Instrumental, beautiful.

Colonel Claypool Bucket of Bernie Brains, C2B3, is my favorite Claypool project. Frog Brigade is a close second, but with Buckethead, Brain, and Bernie Worrel of P-Funk fame... well...

Dream Machine has an Ozric Tentacle or two, and the music is beautiful and rockin'

That Buckethead album was released early 2010 I believe and I regard it one of his very best, if not THE best.

Stone Oak Cosmonaut is a new European space rock band. Really dig their first album. Played it for ages.

==========

In other words, I highly recommend.
