CLOSE TO THE EDGE

I am writing this review when dodging the empty beer cans and scorn from the other Collabs and members of PA. This is the 1044th review of this album in PA. But I still think I should just include my own two pence worth of views on this album.

I love the church organs on the title track and all it's eighteen minutes of complexity and layers of melodies. I think it is one of the best songs of all time.

I love the tenderness and the melody of And You And I. I also love Siberian Khatru. These three songs forms the best ever prog album in my view. A giant in the world of music.......... among those of us who love progressive rock, that is. And that is not many. This album is so complex that it also sort the non-progheads from the progheads. Those who does not understand and those who understand. "But there is no melody here !!", my object of desire cries out when listening to the title track. She does not understand progressive rock. She is not a proghead.

This album is a masterpiece, no less. And I love it.
