I've been aware of them since the late 70's but only started buying their albums in '85 with Le Parc being the first one.
I then went back to search for some older stuff and ended up with the albums Hyperborea, Stratosfear and the soundtrack album Heartbreakers (all original releases from Virgin). Soon after that, I purchased the CD of Le Parc as one of my first two CD's I ever bought (Heart's Little Queen being the other one), before I even bought my first CD Player.
Since then, I've bought most of the studio CD's released since up to Tyranny of Beauty and went back a bought the older stuff on CD like Tangram, White Eagle, Exit (the old Elektra CD), Force Majeure, Ricochet, Hyperborea (to replace the album), and Pheadra (being their oldest I have at the moment).
The only compilation I have is the Tangents boxed set.
The only video I have is the Three Phase laserdisc (the companion to the 220 Volt Live CD).
I know about the "years" of theirs - the "Pink Years", "Blue Years", "Melrose Years", etc... I just happen to like the stuff more from about '75 through '95 and even then, I'm selective of which pieces I like - especially with the stuff from '88 to '95.
Now, I don't have any of their stuff since '95's Tyranny, and I'm wondering how any of it compares. I also know that most of the other stuff they've been putting out are remixes and all, but I don't know how interested in any of that I may be.
Thoughts?
