Yes I agree with you. but its great to hear the EPICS!!!!

Yes. It's fantastic! It's very long, so full playthroughs in one session have been rare, but I've grown to love the vast majority of the songs over the 2 years I've had it. Aside from Garden of Dream which just transcends everything, I really love Painter on Disc 2, and the two "ambient" tracks, Power of Kindness and Hudson River Sirens Call 1998, are haunting.

I love Garden of Dreams. But I also like the song Stupid Girl off the 2nd disc. It's not very proggy but Roine's vocals in it are great.

Which version do you prefer? The original "Flower Power" mix (1999) or the "Road Back Home" compilation mix (2007)? They are very different! The later one is shorter but powerful! Thumbs Up

I haven’t listened to the “Road Back Home” in ages so I’ll have to dig it out and listen to it and get back to you

Their catalogue has me stunned. They practically have no poor albums.
I never really understood the stupid criticism they get because of their symphonic origins. For me, they are pretty original and their sound is quite distinctive from Yes or Genesis (which are obviously their biggest influences).

I love Garden of Dreams. Unfortunately, IMO it's sorta all over the place direction-wise between "Did I Tell You" and "Shadowland".

I know people are upset that Bodin isn't around but have you listened to Zach Kamins' band, An Endless Sporadic? Brilliant stuff. The future of TFK looks very bright indeed.
