Well, I don't agree it sounds like one long song, but there is a constant tone throughout the album, except maybe on "War is Over."

I'd like to know what you think the concept is.




OK...Let me think...I'll prepare my thoughts a bit later,OK?I'm not a native speaker of English,and it's difficult to teel you right now,how do I find MOONSHINE to be a concept story(besides,I agree,that it has NO definite concept,it ISN'T a story with characters or something like this)

Well ..it's a concept album,you know...I thought it is clear - it sounds as a one big song,it has related themes in lyrics,it has perfect equilibrium in its sound and music...I like it,finally!!!

Well, I incline towards The Sentinel. And I'm the first one to vote on this album as I can see.

I choose Subterranea by IQ, although that's not their best work (I prefer Dark Matter).

I took SATELLITE-A Street between Sunset and Sunrise but there is nothing wrong with any of the other choices. Tough poll.

I think,1992 was the best year for Clive:a stunning SHADOWLAND's debut(my favouritest from him ) and a last work with Mann... .R.I.P.

I love Shadowland's debut as well!  

And yes, Geoff is an enormous loss for prog
