Good choices^

I think Mahavishnu Orchestra's  "Lotus on Irish Streams" is a very beautiful piece.

For me, Camel's La Princesse Perdue is definitely up there, as are King Crimson's Starless, Lizard, and Lark's Tongues pts. 1 & 2 (is that cheating?). Radiohead's Pyramid Song nearly brought me to tears when I first heard it.

There are so many of course, but one that always springs immediately to mind is  Steve Hackett's "Walking Away From Rainbows".

Thanks Richard  - quite beautiful. I'd never heard that before.Now, if only Chris S could replace Benoit with Annie, I might go and see them againWink


That would be interestingThumbs Up
 

Anyway I've got the 'real thing' to look forward to - Anderson and Wakeman at the Colston Hall in NovemberBig smile
yeah, we saw them at St Davids Hall, Cardiff the last tour, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Colston Hall is the nearest venue to us for this tour (no Welsh gigs), but we haven't finally decided yet.


I really got to get that album... however, I'm not sure I would say this is better or more beautiful than the original. Sure Haslam's voice is beyond great... but so is Anderson's (I would have a hard time choosing my favourite of them both), and the Haslam/Howe lacks the rest of the instruments, specially keyboards.

The Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman duet in And You And I is another very pretty bit of music - especially on the Yessongs version.
