Cogs In Cogs
Prologue




Memories Of Old Days




Alucard
Wreck


On that scale...Alucard sounds very dated and Wreck is just that IMHO.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Not a fan of the band; I like some of their material but more often than not they fail me on the emotional level. But I take the challenge and let me be inspired to go through some of their songs; after all I don't listen to the band that often, so my opinion is not that certain.
Anyway, I always loved Alucard;
Cogs in Cogs I find quite enjoyable;
Memories of Old Days is perhaps not a masterpiece but I can still relate to it;
Prologue has some moments I like but doesn't work as a coherent whole for me;
Wreck - really not.

What's with all the love for "Memories Of Old Days?" Please don't make me dust off The Missing Piece. Please!!!

"Cogs In Cogs" for me.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Alucard.....their first album is still my favorite. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Memories of old days is a great song!

I quite enjoyed the unpopular The Missing Piece - the singer, for once, wasn't singing it that clipped, affected away that rendered a lot of Gentle Giant stuff virtually unlistenable to my ears.
