That's what much of my time on here is for: searching for a new epic. Doesn't even have to be 20 minutes long. Just needs transitions, dynamic, and complexity (and preferably, to be longer than 10 or 12 minutes). Here are my favorite songs to give an idea of what I'm generally looking for: 1. "Supper's Ready" Genesis 2. "Thick as a Brick" Jethro Tull 3. "Duel with the Devil" Transatlantic 4. "Tarkus" Emerson, Lake, and Palmer 5. "The Gates of Delirium" Yes 6. "Stardust We Are" IQ 7. "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" Van der Graaf Generator 8. "Octavarium" Dream Theater 9. "Ommadawn" Mike Oldfield 10. "Al of the Above" Transatlantic My latest findings that are AWESOME and will also help give an idea of what I might be looking for: "Mei" by Echolyn, "Milliontown" by Frost*, "Visions" by Haken, "The Province" by IQ, "Pulsar" by Cast, "Zarathustra" by Museo Rosenbach. The list goes on. If you've a total epic that you want others to hear or just want to declare your admiration for, then voice it!!  Any suggestions will be appreciated.------------- "We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many that live in darkness that must be shown the way, for it is the dawning of a new day." |

Suppers Ready - Genesis Close to the edge - Yes The revealing science of God - Yes The Fountain of Lamneth - Rush Ommadawn Part 1 - Mike Oldfield Rubycon part 1 - Tangerine Dream Harvest of Souls - IQ The hazards of Love - The Decemberists (does that count as an epic or just a suite of songs with a few proggy reprises?) There's probably more. Minds gone blank. Again... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Indeed strange my friend and I'm so happy you do. The reissue of the album has a lot of nosense in it, but I mainly focus on the two epics. They were about the age of 16 when they recorded it, that puzzles me even more. A 5 stars album for me. Enjoy! |

Amarok - Mike Oldfield First Light - Shadow Gallery Many more great ones out there from The Flower Kings, like The Truth Will Set You Free, Numbers or Devil's Playground. No Spock's Beard or Neal Morse solo stuff mentioned yet, I'd throw in The Great Nothing and The Water (SB) with The Door (NM) That's all that instantly pop into mind which haven't been mentioned yet. By the way, a great list in the first post  ------------- You love the music, the music loves you! http://moonsofjupiter.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://moonsofjupiter.bandcamp.com/ |

"The Great Nothing" is fantastic, and I just recently discovered "The Door" which is awesome!! I'm glad you mentioned Neal Morse. He's honestly my favorite figure in Prog. Great guy and his music is amongst the most epic I've heard.Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! With all these songs to look up, it looks like I have a life today.  ------------- "We have grown, but there is still much to be done.

Lots I love, but since you have so many to check out anyway and I can't say these would appeal (fit well) anyway: Geinoh Yamashirogumi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9JDx6TL40s" rel="nofollow - "Osorezan" Magma - Retropspetiw I-II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEMwlZR8sI4" rel="nofollow - "Theusz Hamtaahk" Soesn't fit that well. A suite, but... Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother suite - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlDx9s-zJMM" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlDx9s-zJMM (my fave thing PF worked on, though there is another version I like more than this) Hyper text links are to the the first parts of the split uploads, but the rest is on youtube. Caravan's 9 Feet Underground is pretty excellent. |

Feel free to throw anything out there. I already know a bunch of people's suggestions (Atom Heart Mother and Nine Feet from yours). I definitely wouldn't mind if this took me a few days or weeks. I don't get incredibly busy and love spending time on things like this. It's a hobby. ------------- "We have grown, but there is still much to be done.

You couldn't go wrong with any Neal Morse-related epics like 'The Door,' 'The Creation,' and his newest 'World Without End.' For some newer epics: Moon Safari - Other Half of the Sky (31:44) Big Big Train - The Underfall Yard (22:54) Glass Hammer - If the Sun (24:00) Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (17:43) And of course the classics: Renaissance - Song of Scheherazade (24:40) Focus - Eruption (23:03) and Hamburger Concerto (20:20) Harmonium - Histoires Sans Paroles (17:12, No lyrics, nor drums, but a very symphonic, adventurous song) And everything else people have recommended regarding Yes, Genesis, and Pink Floyd

I like the sig as well I love "Song of Scheherazade". That's always been a top 20 song for me. I honestly sing "Hamburger Concerto" to my friends all the time. The Harmonium track was a unique listen when I had first tackled it. With the exception of Oldfield, I hadn't heard anything that had no drum work, and in a way it was.... refreshing. A rather enlightening experience, yes. ------------- "We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many that live in darkness that must be shown the way, for it is the dawning of a new day." |

Yeti, Black Pills (from Volume Obliteration Transcendence) Bondage Fruit, Song Bank (from IV) Kayo Dot, On Limpid Form (from Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue) Kayo Dot, Stained Glass (from EP of the same name) Toby Driver, Brown Light Upon Us (from In the L..l..library Loft) The Bevis Frond, Miskatonic Variations II (from New River Head) Present, Promenade Au Fond D'un Canal (from Triskaidekaphobie) Supersilent, 1.1, 2.5, 3.3 and 3.4 (from the triple album 1-3) Sotos, Zu (from Playpus) Zaar, Sefir and Omk (from their eponymous album) Tortoise, Djed (from Millions Now Living Will Never Die) Morte Macabre, Symphonic Holocaust (from Symphonic Holocaust) Godspeed You! Black Emperor, all three tracks from Lift Your Skinny Fists, can't be bothered typing the names! Circle, Friitalan Nahka (from Andexelt) Univers Zero, La Faulx (from Heresie) Guapo, The Pilman Radiant (from History of the Visitation) Also if you have the stamina the band Tarantula Hawk have an album that consists of a single 49 minute track of complete heaviosity which will kick your head in several times. I can't be a lot more specific as they made two albums and neither of the albums or any of the tracks on them have names - helpful! They were never going to break into the top 10 with this attitude. Note that most of the above are from the RIO / avant and post-rock bags so they don't necessarily have the structure of typical prog epics. Most conventionally proggy are probably the Present and Guapo tracks (though...not really) and least so the stuff from Supersilent which a lot of people would say is just noise. It's noise I happen to like though If you listen to just one check out the Guapo. It's an incredibly rewarding piece when you get into it. Finally I just want to say that Volume Obliteration Transcendence is my favourite album title, like, ever. The music's excellent as well and very much fits with the concept. It's a record that you have to play AS LOUD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.

| Look into Deus ex Machina, an Italian prog band. They have a handful of truly radical long-form compositions. Best album to start with in this regard is probably "Equilibrismo da Insofferenza." Of course, be prepared to deal with a vocalist who sings in Latin! LOL. |

| Also the entire Discipline album "Unfolded like Staircase" is full of epics like that. Shortest track on there is still over 14 minutes. It's a phenomenal album that explores territories I had never heard before and haven't heard since. |

Real sweet to see some Nektar here along with Tab In The Ocean from another gentleman... Mine, in no particular order: Renaissance: Song Of Scheherazade YES: Any of their epics, the amazing thing was the consistent quality of all of them up through GFTO ELP: Karn Evil 9, Tarkus, Pirates Spock's Beard: The Great Nothing (This may be the best epic of modern times, IMHO.) Transatlantic: All Of The Above Flower Kings: Numbers & Stardust We Are & Garden Of Dreams Nektar: Recycled Genesis: Super's Ready Pink Floyd: Dogs Marillion: Ocean Cloud IQ: Harvest Of Souls RUSH: Hemispheres Led Zeppelin: Achilles Last Stand The WHO: Quadrophenia (Yep, one masterpiece of a song from start to finish.)  ------------- "Yeah, people are unhappy about that - but you know what, it's still Yes." - Chris Squire |

Newer prog epics. AGALLOCH--Not Unlike The Waves. It's under 10min, but what a track! (2006.) SEVENTH WONDER--The Great Escape. 30min long! But, a pretty great track. (2008) DREAM THEATER--Outcry. 11min track that really doesn't get more technically brilliant than anything in prog metal specifically. (2011) REDEMPTION--Saphire. 15min. This is a very good song that is complete with very solid vocals from Ray Alder. Very enjoyable. (2005) ZOMBI--Spirit Animal--14min+. Great, spacey electronic prog with a retro sound to it. (2008) Classic. The Alan Parsons Project--The Fall of the house of Usher (16min+) IQ--The Last Human Gateway (19min+) TANGERINE DREAM--PHAEDRA (17min+) RAINBOW--Stargazer. Ok. Maybe most would not consider this to be an epic, but I do. It's just under 9 minutes and it's a lyrical and guitar driven masterpiece that is an absolute attack on the senses. It's really the track that gave birth to the hard rock genre. (1976) ;) ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Like the others, it only gets better with each listen too. |

RTF is almost 40 minutes long!
Recycled is both sides, although it was combined with material they already had on stage a bit different.
Heck, their first album is 40 minutes! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

^Hell yeah, I love Totem Oh and I thought of a real humdinger. For some reason the Gracious album always keeps beneath the radar. I'm not sure why that is. It seems to me, that this opening track should have the prog crowd spraying their pants with pure unadulterated exuberance: (note to self: remember to review album)
