I have seen people say that here a few times.....it doesn't remind me at all of Suppers Ready other than it's a long track. While not nearly as long I think The Province is a better song.

I disagree with the BTBAM one. There's so many better choices they could have picked for that, like White Walls or Swim To The Moon. Sleep Parliament's good, but not really that captivating, at least for me anyways. They have so many more memorable tunes, especially one's with more "oh sh*t, that part!" moments.

Beardfish - “Sleeping in Traffic”(from Sleeping in Traffic: Part Two, 2008) 2. Between the Buried and Me – “Silent Flight Parliament” (from The Parallax II: Future Sequence, 2012) 3. Big Big Train – “The Underfall Yard” (from The Underfall Yard, 2009) 4. The Decemberists – “The Island” (from The Crane Wife, 2006) 5. Echolyn – “Mei” (from Mei, 2002) 6. The Flower Kings – “I am the Sun—Part One” (from Space Revolver, 2000) 7. Phideaux - “Snowtorch (Part One)” (from Snowtorch, 2011) 8. The Pineapple Thief - “What Have We Sown?” (from What We Have Sown, 2006) 9. Spock’s Beard – “The Great Nothing” (from V, 2000) 10. Devin Townsend – “The Mighty Masturbator” (from Deconstruction, 2011) The author writes that "newer gems like Porcupine Tree’s Anesthetize, Dream Theater’s Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, and the Mars Volta’s Cassandra Gemini are surely at the forefront of every prog lover’s consciousness," but that there "are plenty of other relatively recent epics that are either underappreciated or under the radar," including his list of 10. Do you agree with this list? What would your list look like? The article: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/tools/full/171576/

Just for fun.

Möbius Slip. (19:37) by Sound of Contact.

I think this track could covert a lot of people to love and want to explore the true depths of prog music. ;)

I know I know. I usually get 'sh*t on' promoting my vast world of prog on people.
I think the problem is a ton of people like accessible easy to follow music, and I don't. Guess this is why I keep to myself more often than not. I even have yet to meet a woman who truly loves and knows so much about prog.
Anyway. I shall just carry on. At least I myself have found something I truly love. ;)

Only in favor of Big Big train, Echolyn & The Flower Kings
