I'll second that! (I know, I'm repeating myself...)
I'd recommend "Prologue" ('72), "Ashes Are Burning" ('73), 
"Turn Of The Cards" ('74) or "Scheherazade and other stories" ('75).
They are all good, and it's not easy to choose one of them (when forced, 
I'd pick Turn Of The Cards).
But avoid their '81 album "Camera Camera" (and the '82, "Time-Line",
which I haven't heard, but it's said not to be any better).

There's also a 2-CD compilation album called "Da Capo" (152 minutes total),
released on Repertoire Records (there's a normal 2 CD set and a
nice but expensive Digibook version), which gives a good impression 
of the band's development 1969-1982 (and the convoluted band history).

bye,
Rolf
