I really like the ending to "dancing with the moonlit knight." They almost invented new age music with that. I also like "lady fantasy." The mellotron at the end is a nice touch.

To parrot what a few have already said: Shadow of the Hierophant by Steve Hackett The Everso Closely Guarded Line by Cardiacs Majestic, uplifting, powerful..beautiful.

Never noticed the mellotron on Lady Fantasy, i'm supposed to be the Camel fiend here Regarding moonlit knight, does Tubular Bells count as new age? Cause that beat Moonlit Knight by a few months. And Popol Vuh trumps both of them

Actually side two of Ash Ra Tempel's first album has them all beat in the proto new age category. ;) Ok, maybe not Popol Vuh though. Not sure. Anyway, yeah that's definitely a "mellie" at the end of LF. Listen again. It starts to kick in towards the end of the long guitar and organ jam then you hear it(admittedly somewhat in the background) when the guitar line that was heard in the beginning comes on again. They didn't use a tron a whole lot but they did use it. There's also a nice mellotron section in the procession part of nimrodel/procession/the white rider on mirage.

Off the top of my head I hear the tron in Nimrodel and Never Let Go for sure, Camel mostly stuck to the synths. To contribute to the actual discussion, some great Camel endings!

Hi,
NEKTAR ... and you can hear it in "Sounds Like This" and then "A Tab in the Ocean" (ending of the side 2 of the album), and then "Recycled" with Larry Fast helping deal the punch and powow ... it kinda stops after the end of Side 1 of the album ... and their album version of "M. Moses" on the album was not half as good as the one they originally did, which was punk prog if there ever was such a thing! The live versions in the albums were already the later versions to sound/look like the album version.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Well, like I said there's definitely mellotron during the last few minutes of Lady Fantasy also. Unless someone doesn't know what a mellotron sounds like I really don't see how anyone can not notice it.

Did they always use the sparkle ball live for CTTE? I've seen videos of the song live from 1972 with all sorts of stuff, including the balls; like projector screens with bubbles and abstract psyche sh*t everywhere, SO awesome lol. My pick for this thread is Siberian Khatru.

Every time I've seen CTTE in concert with Jon Anderson performing, they used the disco ball! In 1972, I was like "What the hell is THAT??" I like how they reprise the beginning of the song with the ending = Wakeman's tinkling Moog synth notes, with waterfall sounds and birds chirping. Very dramatic! This is how Squire looked back then....the guy was an animal, all over the stage!! |

YES (pun intended)!!! I had plethora of legendary Squire shots as my avatar for the longest time, I bring them back when I'm feeling it. Chris Squire is my favorite bass player, and progressive rock musician, of all time. No contest, no exaggeration, no hyperbole. He is the master of rhythm (of love)! Not to mention the dude was a TALL 6'4", absolutely towering over his band mates, lol. TALK ABOUT PRESENCE, YEAH?!

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - A Time and a Place (Emerson cranks up the Moog!)
Emerson, Lake and Powell - Mars, The Bringer Of War ( Emerson again , but this time adding a synth solo that improves Holst original composition) Genesis - Cinema Show (live version) Yes - The Gates Of Delirium (calm after the storm) Lone Star - The Bells Of Berlin (this just beats everything!!) The Nice - She Belongs To Me (quite long and boring but the band then hits a wonderful groove to elevate the track from nothing much to write home about to something special) |

To me it narrows down to these:
Yes - Starship Trooper Yes- Close to the Edge Van der Graaf Generator - Man-Erg BBT - Hedgerow Proclamation - Gentle Giant Camel - Air Born Genesis - The Musical Box Van der Graaf Generator - Pilgrims Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Live at Knebworth 1990) - Pink Floyd Brain Damage/ Eclipse - Pink Floyd (If you consider Eclipse an ending) Tell me what you think about it. |

KC - The Mincer and Snakefinger’s Smelly Tongues end with the crinkled tail of the tape running out. I love that.
I also love the Aisle of Plenty closing of Cinema Show. Gabriel’s best vamping! |
