Me. And I'm with you when good music is barely mentioned on this site
Especially the parts where Bruford gets to play, man that dude can lay down awesome drumwork.

I DO LIKE THIS SONG !!! Very good KC, and very peculiar KC era... 
I am very glad to see somebody interested in somethig else than
competition in music like "Fracture VS larks tongue...", I can't stand
it anymore !

I totally agree with you JrKASperov, Bill Bruford and his unique style gave the music of KC an incredible rythmic sense

It's probably the most powerful, evil piece of music
ever written. It's also the ultimate fusion between
rock and classical.

Well surprise, you gave reason to the hated BELVA for that's who I am. I have to hide from censorship for bringing on my work as musical teaser, to stimulate musical tastes through shocks and jokes. I'm no perv: you can see it for all my shocking posts were comical, the only one I was denounced for I removed and admitted my error. Thus they keep censoring me and my review, but I'm always back. Hope somebody here got the meaning of my jokes, that was to pair real pronografy with musical pronography ( Rush, Dream Theater ..... ) .READ MY DT REVIEW!! THEY WERE CENSORED , I MANAGED TO GET THEM BACK!!!
DOWN WITH CENSORSHIP!! FREE YOUR MINDS!!

Yes, I agree with good ideas, but I don't with hate, or pornographic pics on a prog forum.
You don't need to be so... mmh... extreme ?

It's not censorship, it's a desire to be indecent. Show some decency. There is no freedom of mind when polluted by indecency.

Cause it's the only way to be noticed. And it's a lot of fun to do, I admit.

No, it's not. And we just proved it. An clever topic is always noticed, respected and answered.

Fracture is one of the best pieces ever by one of my all time favourite bands.Two further questions - what's your favourite version? I prefer the version off the remastered USA, though the Night Watch version is interesting as it was overdubbed for the original release of Starless and Bible Black. Also, what do you think of FraKctured? I know that TCOL really divides opinions, but I rate it as highly as the original Fracture.

Anyway, I basically think this site stinks, but there are a few people intelligent on it. Those people do get my jokes , even if they are disturbing, and do get my disgust to a lot of useless prog bands. BE PROGRESSIVE IN EVERYTHING , ALSO IN COMICAL BEHAVIOURS.
PS: and I like to sting in the ass some bigot americans or english with some black cocks or lesbians masturbing. They deserve it for the ignorant mentality they bring. No they won't answer good thread, nor good review. My two DT are nothing porn, but I still had to insert them hacking to avoid the admin was gonna censor them. Cause he's stininking subdued to commercial tastes.

I agree in some things you say, for example "they won't answer good thread", and that about "ignorant minds", but I think some of your methods ougth to be refind and reconsidered

I accept your critic. I'm in fact pretty extremistic, in a sense of views but also in a sense of just having tons of fun. Laughing hard is a necessary part of my life. But anyway, let's go back to Fracture........ it was a piece of rock that trascended it , and brought your interests in classical. This is actually popular music influenced, thus progressive. Most of the people on the site don't even know KC made it, and if they know they'll just say "o yes great song" and then run for some metal stuff......... it's crazy, putting those bands over the same level............ can you actually think how hard is playing fracutre for a metal head dude ?

I agree with you -- especially the quiet part is very hard to play.

The fact that something is hard to play means only that it is hard to play, it doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Try playing "Insect" by Spiral Architect (btw, a bunch of metalheads who would probably have few problems playing "Fracture"), must be incredibly hard, but does that make "Insect" a good song? Not really.
But back on topic - "Fracture" =
