^ Yes, me too, though I skipped a few albums along the way.
Wish You Were Hear has some good material, but the title track doesn't measure up to this track from three years earlier, imo:-

^ I agree.
Atom Heart Mother is the album I voted for in the poll here. To me it strikes just the right balance between the slightly hit-and-miss experimentation of their earlier albums and the suffocating perfectionist polish of their later stuff.
These days the prospect of listening to PF doesn't appeal to me at all. I get a lot more pleasure out of Xurtio's very own
The Deportation Tapes album, so thanks again for that, Xurtio!
