Hi all, I could have posted this in the prog or this section. I'm curious about his later solo releases. I know he's released many New Age albums over the years. Is there any that are "worth" a listen?
I'd like to listen to some of these works so any recommendations would be apprecaited. thanks

Well i have collected most of his solo albums
the aspirant trilogy was quite bland if i recall,the airs trilogy were much better and pleasant chronicles of man and heritage suite are both good piano based albums i enjoy them both.
the 2 retro albums and out there are great at the prog end of the spectrum
but my 3 favorites would be visions,2000ad into the future and 7 wonders of the world
the new version of henry8 at hampton court is also well worth getting on DVD its a good concert with some new music.
all just my opinion of course.

New Age?,
Wakeman?...
Nah!

As with many artists,
he has his good and bad moments.

Personal preferences play a big role too,
I love his Instrumental works as well as his Songs.

Unfortunately... if you wish to find his best work,
you'll have to go backwards in his discography...
Hehe...
