Inspired by the recent discussion about APP's being prog or not. Well? Pavane for me.  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

I prefer Peter Hammill's version of "The Fall of the House of Usher". I have to relisten to the APP version of it; I have not heard it for years

I've never heard Hammill version and I'd love to. I ordered it once in an online shop but after a long waiting they cancelled the order 'cos they couldn't get it.  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

I have the Hammill version (from 1998) but unfortunately the last three tracks are not playable (CD error).

^ Ironically there are 23 PH albums available on Napster, but none of the two editions of TFotHoU.

Ok, but this poll is not about Hammill's but APP's version after all. So, please vote.  ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Definitely Parson's finest piece of music. The build up is incredible. What an underrated prog classic!! ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

What a coincidence, I just listened to this song earlier today for the first time in a long time. ------------- . |

| A great cd, underrated by almost all proggers. Really good tracks, and this is one of the best, obviously. I don't know, but the prelude is an excellent part. I'll vote it. |

don't even know which part is which, but I remember how good this sounded when a DJ played Tai Phong's "Out of the Night" followed by the last few parts of this one. I was disappointed because I thought it was all APP and bought the album and found no vocals! I only found out years later that the first "part" was Tai Phong, from thenir fine debut album. Oh dear, we seem to want to discuss anything but APP |
