 | Music From the Penguin Cafe by The Penguin Cafe Orchestra

|
 | Red by King Crimson

|
 | Mirage by Camel
Buy new: £6.18 / Used from: £4.37 I don't think there were better musicians in rock - the symphonic instrumental Snow Goose is another worth a punt
|
 | The Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band
