Topic: welcome to the BIG Epic restaurant Posted: August 28 2007 at 03:27 |
There's often an Epic and sometimes order of when we hear a long song can make a difference in how we digest it imagine if they had of put Close to the edge as the last track or Supper's Ready was the first track I`m sure it would make a slight difference

Usually at the end, but it depends on the album and song.

You need to allow for the not very good Epic (remembering not all Epics are great) if one of those is to start a CD it will bugger things up , so it is a big risk for a band to start with an Epic

two very tasteful artists in particular seem to always leave their epics for the final track - King Crimson and Peter Hammill. =)

I have an eating disorder: give me the epic at the beginning, give it to me again as main meal and, well, why not give it to me once again as desert. What could I ask more for my appetite?! Well... four epics is a row?

I guess the dessert option is the most common one, and also the best... but the best album ever, Im talking about Close to the edge of course has it first... so it´s the great mayority against Close to the edge... mmm, though one...

I voted for "Dessert," but I recall hearing the 30-minute "All of the Above" at the start of Transatlantic's 'SMPTe,' and I liked havring it there as it was my first ever taste of them.

I'm going with minority and have it sandwiched right in the
middle...especially if the front and end material are well transitioned
around the main piece (I'm thinking of The Seventh House and Fear of a
Blank Planet).
I have to be honest though: for most of my CDs, the epic will get a lot more play than the other songs.

Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass

I like 'em in the middle.
I think the biggest reason why arriving somewhere but not here is huge is because it's in the middle of the album, the climax of the cd if you will... or because it's a great song after three mediocre songs

Obviously the end, but if it were up to me, a good album would be comprised of 3 epics: start, middle, end.

None of the above; I prefer my epics to encomapse the entire CD. And have breathtaking flute riffage. I think we all know where I'm going with this...

It does depend on the CD, but I'll be boring and go with the end.

If I speak of it's a wedding lunch.
If I speak of other albums... depend.
