Here's the latest update to the master list. Thanks for your continued recommendations!
I would love it if you did the entire suite of the Jethro Tull folk-rock era: Songs from the woods, Heavy horses and Stormwatch.
Keep on the good work! Cheers from Sweden 🍻

Doug, I will keep asking for your reaction to music from Eloy, a great progressive-spatial German band. A full listen to their "Ocean" album, a concept album on the Creation, Rise, and Fall of mythical Atlantis will be marvelous!

On the original studio version the guitar solo is by Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash, as a quid pro quo for John Tout playing organ on "Throw Down The Sword" which ends side two of their album, "Argus". (You have scheduled "Sometime World" from side one of that album.)
[The two bands had the same management at that time.]

Hatfield And The North, a band named after a U.K. road sign, song titles whose quirkiness belies the musicianship and melody therein. "The Rotters Club" was their second album, but as with many Canterbury related bands there's a trail of connections, associations and cross-pollinations to follow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatfield_and_the_North

XTC is a fine band. Andy Partridge is supposed to be the one who is all that, but I always preferred Colin Mouling's songs. He has a nicer voice, too. They had a psychedelic offshoot band called Dukes of Stratosphere - who produced some nice music, back in the day.

Thanks! I'll try to remember to fix it.

Also: in light of his recent death, Tom Verlaine: Television's 'Marquee Moon' would be a fine extended play album—classic!

I would love to see some XTC in there. Of course there are connections to music already done here—notably, Steven Wilson remixed many of their recordings (with 'Black Sea' coming out soon, and others if they can find the original multitracks!).
'Apple Venus vol. 1' and 'Nonsuch' would be excellent choices. There's a lot of fascinating harmonic and arranging stuff to dig into...

Can't argue with anything on the list. As far as 'Koyaanisqatsi' goes, bear in mind there are multiple soundtracks. Skip the original, roughly 40 minutes long, and go for the later re-mastered which is the whole movie. Seriously, the whole movie is music, but you knew that. Actually, watch the movie BEFORE doing a reaction. More organic that way. And seriously mind-blowing. Skip the adult substances. That is all.

The shortened link for Renaissance Ashes Are Burning (Live) is incorrect. It leads to a Radiohead video.

What about Marillion with Fish?
Or perhaps Fish's solo albums? Especially the first two and the last two.

How about ELP at Montreal Stadium (1977) - «Fanfare For The Common Man»? This is a must in my book. The video, the guys standing literally in the snow, is iconic 😁
