Same here. WINTER 1972 is probably my favorite, along with JAZZ BED. I just can't believe this guy... he manages to make his saxophone squeal for 45 minutes straight, and it's somehow amongst the most powerful and interesting music I've ever heard. He never hits a wrong note!
Tons of albums for the uninitiated (get some Derek Bailey while you're there, specifically TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LUNGS):
