Close To The Edge or Red?

"Tanz der Lemminge" is from 1971. If you are curious about that track go here:


That was only an example, by the way; I could have mentioned many other tracks by other artists.

How about "Vergegenwärtigung" by Popol Vuh (1976)? Go to the 19:40 mark for that track; it ends at 36:27.


Or "Atem" by Tangerine Dream (1973)?

I take it you don't like much early Krautrock either because there are often passages or sometimes whole tracks in it which are quite similar to "Moonchild". Example: "The Marilyn Monroe Memorial Church" from "Tanz der Lemminge" by Amon Düül 2.

I'm sorry if I broke some sacred rule not to compare Providence to CttE tracks, but I can't help it. you didn't break anything it's just a ludicrous opinion I know I didn't. Maybe ludicrous, but still an opinion, and still as valid as anyone else's opinion.

I agree

Love both albums, obviously, but Starless is one of my all-time favorite prog epics, and I just love the rest of the songs on it (well, Providence a bit less). So Red it is.

Pure quality-wise, it cannot. But I don't care for objective quality when I'm listening to music. I'm sorry if I broke some sacred rule not to compare Providence to CttE tracks, but I can't help it.

^ ... and as I much as I like "Providence", there's no way it could perform as a giant-slayer to all three tracks.

it sure is a monster
