As far as I remember you'll get Logos soon, I guess you'll like it
From the 80s, there's also Hyperborea and Underwater Sunlight, although if you don't like shorter tracks generally, you might only like one half of each album (that'd be Sphinx Lightning from Hyperborea and Song of the Whale Parts 1+2 from Underwater Sunlight).
For now at least, save the years between 1987-1998 for later. Doesn't mean there's no good albums within that period, but sifting through all their releases around that time could be a bit discouraging at first...
Here's a current bargain to start with the newer TD:
http://tinyurl.com/2wk8uf - It's a double CD of their "Mars Polaris" live concert from 1999.
If you like classical music, maybe you like the Dante trilogy releases (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso). But especially with Dante, "try before you buy" ... I personally find that trilogy the biggest TD disappointment ever.
My recommendations for TD after 2000 regarding long, complex tracks would be Jeanne D'Arc, and Springtime and Summer in Nagasaki. All only in my opinion of course. Maybe try TD's official
MySpace site for listening to some examples of their newer recordings.
