No, it isn't, although most of it is. I love the vocals on that song, so mellow... And I like "Abismo Terrenal" a lot too. |

"Group Therapy" from Steve Hackett's "Highly Strung" album. The way keyboards and guitar dance around each other surely is fascinating. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

It's a travesty that Liquid Tension Experiment isn't being mentioned at all.  Biaxident, Paradigm Shift..awesome!Clap by YES is awesome, Lark's Tongue in Aspic pts. 1 and 2 are great. 2112 overture has some amazing moments. And .3 by Porcupine Tree. And how could I forget YYZ! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/FishyMonkey/?chartstyle=artists">

I second "A Hunting We Shall Go" by Caravan. Especially the middle part, written by Robert Wyatt I think?

La Villa Strangiato is better than YYZ, although that's 2 of my top ten... Genesis - All in a mouses night into ...in that quiet earth Franky Z. - Peaches en Regalia Camel - Rhayader Steve Howe - Mood for a day (I was going to simply put Wakeman's Six Wives, but Steve is a nice change from my Wakeman obsession for once  )King Crimson - Red Glass Hammer - Chronos Deliverer ELP - Hoedown -------------  
It's the same guy. Great minds think alike. |

Both LTE2 and Spastic Inc's Inc compatible are awsome but I'll go for Steve Morse's fantastic instrumental, High Tension Wires: http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=1656 - http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=1656 BTW, it's been rated at 5.00! (ok, so there might not be that many reviews... yet  )------------- Currently listening to: - Andromeda - Pagan's Mind - Kamelot |

My ALL-TIME FAVORITE is King Crimson's "The
Sheltering Sky": it literally takes me to another world whenever I
listen to it, especially the part near the end where Fripp ends the
psychotic lead swells and starts playing full chords that sound like a
real synthesizer and not a guitar synth. Absolutely breathtaking; his
"trumpet" leads are so amazing on this piece ( http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=191 - it's one of the mp3's on
this site , for those who have not heard it yet). I also love King Crimson's "Red", Dream Theater's "Overture 1928", "Dance of Eternity", and "Erotomania" (especially the amazing middle part) ------------- OBQM: www.soundcloud.com/onebigquestionmark (solo project) nQuixote: www.soundcloud.com/n-quixote (ambient + various musical ideas) |
