This one ranks in my top 5 favorite albums. The Musical Box is one of the most creative works I have heard. The mix of bass pedals, keyboards, and of course HACKETT! make this a great song.

For Absent Friends- this song is really amazing in its own. Quite emotional and creative. Good intro for the next song.

Hogweed- At one time my favorite song (until I heard Fountain of Salmacis). The dynamic atmosphere here is entertaining.

Fountain of Salmacis- this honestly is my favorite song. I have heard all of Genesis, all of Yes, most of ELP, and much other prog, and this one still stands out. This is probably the most emotional song I have heard. It can actually bring a tear to my eye at the climax of the hammond organ to the release of the chorus. What an amazing transition. Transitions like this make songs for me. Close to the Edge (Yes) has this feature, and that makes it my second favorite song. It feels like your body is pressed of its stress, and you are in musical creative bliss.

Buy this. The last song alone justifies it.
