Aaahhh, I do believe you're referring to The Waiting Room.  One of my favourite tracks from a brilliant album.
see thats why you like Pink Floyd so much - daft twiddly-dee-squalk-noo-noo-boing-flibber-freeeech-stonk impresses you - if floyd had recorded a track of complete silence - the floyd fans would have been drooling with such "Genius".........and daft noises do not contribute to any epic prog excepting the and we;ll end with a WHISTLE and we'll end with a BANG......it's all a bit like those weirdos who only have left-handed-peruvian-pan-scrubbing-one-legged-lesbian-pig-hearders-wives-friends porn on their computer........

Dude, I am totally with you on RPWL.  Loved "World Through my Eyes" then they kind of faded for a bit until the new one came out.  I am loving the new one.

i haven't picked it up yet.  need that soon.  i just love their melodies and simple chord progressions.  i also want to get yogi's solo album as well as their old bass player's solo album called parsival's eye.  samples of both sound kind of floydish...which is a good thing for me.

Just a lucky guessWink I've had two teenage sons - and I networked their computers - I let them seek out and download all the best porn...all I had to do was harvest it.....When I was a kid we had to swipe jazz-mags from the local perverts stash that he kept in a shed at the bottom of his garden - now that really was a GARDEN OF (wET) DREAMS....hohoho

Just been watching a programme about the Salem Witch trials - apparently those poor girls were burned using the Malleus Maleficarum - (Hammer of Witches) as a sort of witch-fynders bible and persecution/proof manual.
Malleus Maleficarum  - Perfect title for a prog rock or maybe death metal album name...
Maybe Transatlantics next output perhaps - some put it to NM or RS.....
It's suitably - biblical for both of them to be very interested....
Whole book is based on one line in the bible - Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.....Exodus 22:18 - another example of the fookin sh*te that is still beleived by millions of fook-wits in the 21st Century.
The Malleus Maleficarum is in three parts - perfect for a three part epic - each about 26 minutes long each.....

Dude, you should totally grab that one (Beyond Man and Time), it blows 'The RPWL Experience' out of the water.  I liked what I heard on Spotify of Yogi's solo album as well.

Roland-
thanks for the rec.  will get that soon.  my favorite at this point is Stock.  i just love yogi's voice and their use of synth solos.  i wish they'd tour the states.

Barney-
RPWL is a prog band.  look them up.  they have an undeserved reputation as sounding like 80s floyd.  not true.
btw, love your idea for the next TA epic.  i'm thinking 70 minutes for each piece.  they can bring in gaahl from gorgoroth to guest and help write.  then head out for some red wine.

everyone-
listening to Numbers.  i love it!  that first mellow part where roine sings.  so spacey.  also fun listening for hasse's guitar parts.  still haven't listened to disc two that much.

Just had a quick look at RPWL - i'm not sure any of the CD's are for me! - Pop-prog was used several times (as a description)and since Floyd (Excepting Echoes, SOYCD and Animals) isn't really my cup of tea - I think I'll be targetting other purchases between now and my xmas CD's list.....

maybe one for Roj....

Yeah, honestly I don't know if RPWL would be for you Rob.  If you like "It Bites" and "Sylvan" you might like them, but there is a Floyd influence there.  I'm not saying they're a clone, but it's there.

Well, I love Floyd and don't much care for RPWL.  I have "Stock", which I got for very little money, and it's nice and pleasant and a fair forgery of late period Floyd.  I've listened to tracks from just about every album and I just find it all a bit bland and lifeless.

Listening to Adam & Eve right now. I don't understand the dislike for the title track. It's an awesome TFK tune. 

I've been rotating A&E, Banks of Eden, and The Sum Of No Evil lately. What an awesome trio of albums.

@darkshade-
http://www.flowerkings.se/news_2004.php
i love A+E too.  those three albums do kind of fit together.  i see Paradox as it's own beast.  anyway, i was checking out the TFK site and on their news archives Roine writes a lot about his inspiration for A+E.  he also talks about his vision for TFK.  very cool.  link above.  a cool fact is that the song Blade of Cain was supposed to be a part of the song A+E.

@Infandous
RPWL a pleasant and fair forgery of late period floyd! how dare you!LOL  you're right there.  i do like gilmour floyd so RPWL hits the spot.  its amazing how everyone of their albums sounds like it was recorded in 1989.  

@Barney
yeah, RPWL has a certain sound.  i've been trying with marillion and they definitely aren't an immediate interest.  however, i think if i gave them some time i'd get into them.  their songs are a bit boring.  i'm fascinated by their fan base.
