Yes - the Yes Album

not a new purchase but I got stuck in today. Starship Trooper, prog standard
 
Yeah, I've got that one. Excellent album - SUS and Human Punk are probably my picks of the litter. Haven't listened to them in an age or two though - I am ripping them to my iTunes as I type this though

Black Widow - Sacrifice (1970)

I got this from through our ever-reliable Anteater and it's good fun, a solid heavy prog album.
A few sources seem to be claiming it's heavy metal but there are far too many flutes; this comparison is obviously down to the cliche B-movie occultism - lyrics and themes that would dominate metal subgenres for decades to come.

There's not a lot of musical showmanship on offer here for a prog album, but plenty of Vox organ and the grooves are sufficiently stoned / the wails sufficiently proto-metal to keep you smiling. An interesting document, early Sabbath similarities aside! The artwork's creepier than the music though, it has to be said.

That's funny...I've had the 4-disc Led Zeppelin box set (with crop circles on the cover) since like 1990 but never listened to any of the albums on their own...until I got this one a year or so ago. I wasn't missing much but it's nice hearing it as an album. I should do the same with the others. But I've heard the songs so many times by now...it's not at the top of my priorities.
 
Ive only got the 'Wrath' album out of the ones you mentioned and it is really an excellent album like.
I probably have the others queued on downloaRAB.
