Great observation Snow Dog, I liked it the way the first guy put mostly for the fact that there IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INSTRUMENTAL SONG. A song by definition is a piece of music that is accompanied by a singer and is SUNG. Instrumental Song is an oxymoron and you better check yourself before you diss on any more noobs.  |

sorry didn't mean to be an asshole about it. I think a healthy diss is great and makes the forum exciting but just make sure that you're right when you do it, that's all.  |

Can't say I know many instrumental albums (I'm a big fan of vocals) so I'd have to say The Snow Goose. Favourite instrumental song, oops sorry track? Albatross but that's not really prog so I'd say La Villa Strangiato or maybe Hocus Pocus. Snow Dog - I'm off to Wales this weekend (walking in the Brecon Beacons) - what's the weather like there? |

| Right now, I'm leaning towards Slightly All The Time by Soft Machine or The Son of Mr. Green Genes by Frank Zappa. |

Vdgg's "Theme One", for one. Brilliant and bizzare, sick and even perverse. Great sax and organ interplay, perhaps bested only by "Man-Erg's" midsection and bridge in the entire Graaf catalogue. Then the Red Queen to Gryphon 3 album by Gryphon. Brilliant multi-instrumental stuff and great arrangements, truly a rock symphony. ------------- Cheers! |

There are far too many...let's see: 1313, from Univers Zero (The whole album); Third; from Soft Machine; almost every Steve Hackett's instrumental theme; "Ha llegado carta", "Sur" and "Cero problema" from Congreso ( http://www.congreso.scd.cl - http://www.congreso.scd.cl ), and; well, many more. It's almost an impossible task for me to identify all of them. Recently, NEU! and NEU! '75. ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

Skogsranden - Anglagard: No one seems to mention this track very much, but I personally think this is Anglagard's best track, and one of the greatest progressive tracks ever written. Up there with "Awaken" by Yes, and "One Nail Draws Another" by U Totem. Arborescence - Ozric Tentacles: I think most tracks by the Ozrics are fantastic, but this one is extra special for me. It's a quiet track, but has an underlying intensity which I just love. After some delicate flute in the middle, it finishes off with a powerful guitar solo that sounds very epic. Magical! I think of it as a sacred hymn to Nature. Madigral - Opeth: This track off My Arms, Your Hearse, is less than two minutes long and merely consists of a few simple acoustic guitar lines. But these few lines create such an exquisite atmosphere, you cannot help but fall under its spell. - Reverie wrote:
I can't get into this album because the sax and the trumpet are mixed far too loud, and I can barely hear the piano, bass and drums. It completely ruins the album for me. Have you had this problem?

sh*t yes. I was given the Innermounting flame when i was 13. And i layed down in the dark and listened to it( because i was told that that was the only way to really hear it) and I was blown away! To this day it is one of my favourite albums that changed my whole mindset as a musician ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

I have realised that i don't notice the piano or bass much if i'm not focued on them, but if i do focus on them i can hear them well enough so it hasn't really been a problem. It doesn't take away from the overall sound for me, but then i don't really pick up on those kind of things too much, and when i do they hardly worry me unless it's just too much for me. |
