I've been waiting for the incredible Pierre Moerlen (from Gong, and sadly passed away last year) to be recognised in these forums - I've seen or heard none better.

What about Jon Hiseman of Graham Bond Organisation, Colosseum etc.

Hes another one that dont get a mention.

i know, i'll ask them to do a DRUMGODS 3 !

i agree about John Hiseman - the "Time Machine" solo on "Daughter of Time" makes my arms ache just hearing it....
