that's some insight...   sounds like something i might buy..

yes, these are all good starting points, although AGF may be a bit wild for
a first encounter. i started with Miasma.  it should be made clear here,
that New Riverhead
is only 1/2 an album.  The other half appears on A Gathering of Fronds,
along with
some other unreleased material. This too, is an excellent choice.

and if you can find a copy of The Fred Bison Five (rearrange the letters,
what do you get?), nab it!

and...and...and..... the Outskirts of Infinity! Great band!
