FRAGMENTROPY

This is a first for me in many ways. Fragmentropy introduced me to progressive rock really. I only learned about the term after listening. I checked out quite a few other albums in the meantime, and I see what I missed, but maybe this naive way of listening is a plus as well as an interesting perspective for this site. (Where I really hope to find lots of input!)

T's approach to story-telling really does it for me. Listening to Fragmentropy is like reading a good book. In this way, T perfects what those stellar heroes of the seventies set out for. Music is always a matter of taste of course, but the concept of Fragmentropy has a lot more literary quality than most of the other golden greats I was introduced to.

As for the music, I have the advantage that all prog is new to me. For me, Fragmentropy is as much a classic as is The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. And really, I really think that this makes it easier for me to say: Yes, this is a masterpiece. It is innovative as Björk, it is emotional as Radiohead and sometimes funny as the old Genesis records. It surely has a lot to say about the nature of human love, and it is incredible that only ONE person can cover such a wide musical diversity!

So, if you are interested in the perspective of a newbie, so to speak an outsider: This would be in your top ten lists of T had recorded it in the seventies. So it is in mine - and I will definitely check out the other albums.
