Has Green Desert passed you by? And Electronic Meditation which would make a bit of a contrast with the synth albums .
 

Plus Force Majeure and Cylone from the classis era

From the later era Jerome played drums quite frequently to lets say a 'competent level'

If you're stuck with one song for eternity then memorizing 30000 words seems more of a challenge than hearing a regular tune forever

1) Ricochet. As it’s an album length piece with many different sounds.
 

I like the way you think! That's the plain truth.

Sure, Klaus Schulze is a drummer, but having to choose one band only for the rest of the Times a couple of albums in about 200 is not very much. YES have a bit of everything.

Tough questions:

1) Either - Tchaikovsky, Symphony #6, or Shostakovich, Symphony #5
2) King Crimson

Hi,

NONE!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

1) Transatlantic - The Whirlwind, because it lasts 74 minutes so I won't be repeating a 3 minutes song.
2) I could say Rick Wakeman because has a lot of albums, but all the newage stuff is quite boring. I also need some real drums sometimes, so it can't be Tangerine Dream. A good ratio between number of releases and quality seems to be YES, even if the last album is very poor. I will miss Zeuhl, but I couldn't listen to Magma only for a lifetime...

No.

1) Franz Schubert - String Quartet n. 14 (Der Tod und das Mädchen)
yeah its quite lenghty and contains all that I love in music. Intensity, brains, emotion, beauty light and dark etc... - in bundles
2) its got to be some jazz for sure. Seems I never need breaks or grow tired of: Mal Waldron...

-but I don't trust myself and probably change my mind tomorrow to Can, Magma, Miles, Schostavovich...
