Oh yeah-that song is an absolute musical tour de force! All five members bring forth incredible virtuosity and somehow they harness what should have been absolute mayhem into a coherent whole, run through contrasting movements, but always propelling forward with great energy. It is the ultimate exposition of what Yes were capable of in both composition and execution.

Art Zoyd - Migrations Can - Mother Sky Comus - Winter is a Coloured Bird Soft Machine - Moon in June Van der Graaf Generator - Darkness Popol Vuh - In Den Garten Pharaos Magma - Sohia (on second thought, Theusz Hamtaahk) Dom - Edge Of Time Tangerine Dream - Atem Cardiacs - Big Ship ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

A couple great choices. If it wasn't for Fountain of Salmacis, Slippermen would have likely been mine too. I don't like Renaissance at all (except the debut album with Jane Relf), but Can You Understand is the one Annie song I really like  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

I have my top 5 very well defined, but after that I really find difficult to choose whom I like better than the others, so: - Pink Floyd: Shine on you Crazy Diamond (all 9 parts, that's actually my very favourite song of all). - Yes: Awaken (specially the Keys to Ascension version). - Dream Theater: Octavarium. - Rick Wakeman: Arthur. - Mike Oldfield: Ommadawn part 1. |

I really love that album. I'm just waiting for the new re-recorded version to arrive, actually... I hope it's got some good stuff to enjoy besides what we already know. I believe Rick himself considers the song Arthur to be his best song. |

Hi, Sadly, I don't do songs ... I only do full albums. I just can't separate pieces within a Symphony, or Concert by anyone ... it is all about the artist, not the song, for ME! If I were to choose the albums, they would include AD2's Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings, and then CAN's Future Days and Soon Over Babbalooma. Choosing a "song" in those albums is nutz for me! It's impossible! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |
