kinda
Literally all of them, even his popshit is good. Also if your really interested listen to Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom for his guitar solo on the ending track, probably the best of his life.
then don't listen to it?
Go back to listen to indie folk you dumb bitch
Five Miles Out is the most successful fusion of progressive rock and pop I've heard
Incantations is OK, a bit too lengthy, but if you dig minimalist classical you might enjoy it, it's a cycle through the circle of fifths that lasts almost 80 minutes
Amarok is like Ommadawn and Tubular Bells but taken to their logical conculsion.
Return to Ommadawn is a nice comfy prog rock album, nowhere near as great as Ommadawn though, also lacks the African influences
otherwise, meh, if you dig FMO you can check out Crises and Discovery
Hergest Risge and Platinum I guess are worth checking out if you like folky qualities of parts of his music or want to hear a disco/prog rock fusion
Exposed is a solid live album if you're into that kind of thing

listen to this without crying
The Songs Of Distant Earth is one of my favorites.
what about you? have you heard it?
i have the same reaction listening to this as I do listening to the ending build-up and release of Ommadawn pt 1
you can like many different kinds of music
