THE SKY MOVES SIDEWAYS

What an incredible album! The sheer beauty of the title track, with its dreamy drumming/percussion part in the beginning, verse-chorus section, harsh and aggressive sounding techno segment, and textured spaceyness toward the end, always draws me in and leaves me amazed. And if you can, pick up the new double-CD edition that has a 34-minute version of the title track, Stars Die, and both a short version (5 minutes) and a long version (16 minutes) of Moonloop, a breathtaking intrumental PT classic. Both the moody Moon Touches Your Shoulder and the fast- paced Dislocated Day add extra flair to the album, as does the little Pink-Floydian guitar piece Prepare Yourself. Overall, The Sky Moves Sideways is a work of brilliance that should not be passed up. Pick up TSMS, it's a classic for any fan of prog!
