Is there any album in prog that...

...has a certain message and makes
sense music/lyricwise if you listen to it „normally“, but has a
different meaning if you programm the tracks a special way (mainly concept albums)?

For example, if you play the tracks
like 3,6,9,1,4,2,7,8, the whole concept of the album becomes
different because now the lyrics or the story fit together, the mood
is not the same etc.

Long introduction, thus I will repeat
the question. Does an album like this exist? It came to my mind that
Prog should be quite perfect for this idea. Tools „Lateralus“ was
supposed to be programmed like a sort of spiral
(6,7,5,8,4,9,3,10,2,11,1,12), but it made no special sense to me –
neither song- nor lyricwise.

And – in case you do not know such an
album – which band would be most likely to create something like
this in your opinion?

Thanks for your time

Mo

	The canadian band Saga has a concept spread out over different albums. They songs have differnt titles, they all have a "Chapter no .." included. They released the chapters in random order so that we as listeners could interprete ourselves what the story is about. They have now released a live album where they play the songs in a sequence starting with no 1 to please the fans who wanted the whole story in one album. Uffe

	I know about a book, "Rayuela", from Julio Cortazar, wich can be read in different combinations, to get different stories. But an album... I guess not. Ryko disc seem to have made changes to the order of some Frank Zappa albums...
