5 stars The first time I heard Close to the edge noticed it's way too long, kinda boring some times But the 2nd time was totally different, I can say, this id one of the top 5 of all prog rock The magnificent opening track 'close to the edge' is way sublime, a tremendous intro, stoped sometimes to put a vocal sounds 'aaaah', unexcpected, and keeps getting better through teh song then come a moment of calm, atmospheric sounds and the words 'i get up, I get down' and that magnificent ending etc. Then a beautiful song called 'and you and I' pretended to be almost all acoustic, with an overwalming guitar sounds, simply beautiful and to close, the funny 'Siberian khatru' showing the virtuosism of each member, and doing a very dinamic song etc.

One of the top of the prog I said
