Proto-Prog and Prog-Related Lounge  anyway: I don't really know what "sub-part" of The Fountain Of Lamneth is my favourite. The piece itself isn't bad at all. -------------

This release was a progressive step for Rush (though I love Fly by Night), but they still had a ways to go before they'd reach their peak, I believe, as with subsequent albums (2112 to A Farewell) they progressed greatly in terms of Prog quality. Still, a good album. Sadly, i haven't listened to this one in many years (some of the tuneage still seems fresh in my head like Bastille Day from this album, Lakeside Park, ... Going Bald -- yeah I've also heard these more recently on concert albums). Anyway, even when I was a huge Rush listene (had all their 70's and 80's LPs/ motly cassettes at one time), I don't remember the epics off this album affecting me greatly (and I loved those long epics like La Villa etc.). My recollection is just a bit hazy on this beyond knowing that I like it. Maybe I just didn't spin the B-side enough... Anyway, I know that when I did listen to it (on LP), I didn't distinguish between the individual parts that much, but listened to it as a whole. |

| I agree, I normally listen to the whole thing. I do like "Panacea" though, especially the verse, so I'll go for that. |

I really like the No One at the Bridge section. Overall, the song is probably my favourite by Rush. |

This is one of my favorite Rush epics.I really like Didacts and Narpets because of the awesome drum work but if I had to pick one section I have to go for No One at the Bridge. -------------  |

| I couldn't pick one part; it's too hard of a decision, since that's probably one of my favorite Rush epics (favorite song on that album too) and Rush is my favorite band. |

| No One At The Bridge is the coolest. The solo is pretty Hackett-esque. |

Was this poll made for me or what?     I love the piece as a whole but I voted for "No One At The Bridge". Yay for Caress Of Steel. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

I rather like Bacchus Plateau. Its a breath of fresh air after the density of the previous two tracks. The chorus is one of their best, IMHO. ------------- Dissonance; subtle harmonic dissonance Contemplating and completing the negative space Romantic symphonies left on the floodplains |

Love this song! It's my favorite one on Caress. I'd say my favorite
part is Bacchus Plateau. I love the reprise of the big open sliding chords at
the end.
