Collection
5.  Collection by E.L.O.

£7.03   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Heartbreaker
6.  Heartbreaker by Free

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel
7.  Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel by Grateful Dead

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Through The Trees

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
9.  The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by Incredible String Band
The list author says:

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Islands (30th Anniversary Edition)
11.  Islands (30th Anniversary Edition) by King Crimson

One World [Deluxe Edition]
13.  One World [Deluxe Edition] by John Martyn

Journey to the Centre of the Eye
14.  Journey to the Centre of the Eye by Nektar
The list author says:
  "N. I'm going a bit out on a limb here even with my prog rock leanings. This is bonkers! Contains alot of Pink Floyd and King Crimson references. Questionable concept, dodgy lyrics, dated music, fab!"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
15.  Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld by The Orb

Music from the Penguin Cafe

Tindersticks: II
20.  Tindersticks: II by Tindersticks
The list author says:
  "T. Later on Tindersticks abandonned their huge orchestral soundscapes for a more pared down sound. This was before then - songs like Tiny Tears are earth shattering, the saddest song I've ever heard."
