For Beefheart, I say Trout Mask Replica but everyone else will probably say start with Safe As Milk.

Taco probably won't get past the album cover before he starts screaming for mommy..

Anyone familiar with Imogen Heap willing to recommend an album to start with? I've been impressed with her recent work with Jeff Beck.

Over-Nite Sensation

[tacobender44]

I like Doc at the Radar Station - Captain Beefheart (1980, not exactly classic period, but good in my book)

If you are starting, I would suggest Lather. It's a 3 disc set that encompasses much of his mid-70's work. It's got the right combination of accessible stuff and really brilliant oddball stuff to give a good representation of what Zappa was about.

Not so sure about Soft Machine to give a recommendation, but I'd give Caravan's "In the Land of the Grey and Pink" (I also very much enjoy their debut) and Camel's "Music Inspired by The Snow Goose" a shot.

agree with "In the Land of Grey and Pink."

Camel you are okay with any of there 70's album except the live one. Favorites are The Snow Goose, Mirage, Moonmadness and Rain Dances.

Soft Machine-hard to say they changed alot with each album. Try either Vol 2 or fourth. Third is my favorite but I wouldn't start with it.

I'm still going to pitch Nektar's Remember the Future and Tab in the Ocean to you. Honestly, you are looking at a bunch of prog and I seem to know your taste. These albums should be on your watch.
