I love tension build in introductions. Xanadu (Rush), The Sky Moves Sideways (Porcupine Tree) and Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Take a wild guess!) all do that brilliantly I think. Its cool how when you listen to stuff like that for the first time you think "Okay an instrumental piece..." and then the vocals come in, that's what I call a brilliant Prog-intro. I guess on a different level Close To The Edge by Yes would qualify, love the crazy virtuoso bursts and then the "Ahhhhh" and then doin' it all over again.
As for outros I'm going with Rush again, 2112. "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation, we have assumed control!" is one of the most awesome song endings ever. I defy anyone not to feel moved in some way by all that power. What a monster. I also really enjoy Tony Banks' outro on The Cinema Show, some of the best synth playing I've ever heard.
I just read back over your thread explaination and realised I may not have answered the question but I'm leaving my answer in anyway.

From Genesis to Revelation, I mean, it starts out at Genesis, and like, then, it goes on to like Revelation. 'scuse me for starting out silly, but I will have to think about it a little bit to provide a meaningful answer.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I highly prefer Vox Dei's La Biblia, music quality way much higher and well as you said but this one with the Genesis and finishing with the APOCALYPSE! |

Speaking of the MO, I love the ending to Hymn to Him. Kinda winds down the way Meeting of the Spirits winds up. OK, back to the salt mines until I can think of one of my favorite openers.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Most threads go off topic anyway. But now we can blame you.

Oooh, I got an opener, Todd Rundgren's Utopia: The Utopia Theme.  Edit: I'm sorry, I was actually thinking of The Ikon. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I don't really think some of you guys get what I mean by an intro or outro with a solo. Bah, who cares right?

I'm Running off Big Generators has one of the most amazing outros I've heard, mostly due to the vocal ensemble.
If you want a more conventional pick, I'll be happy to cosign for Supper's Ready.

| Yes's Siberian Khatru outro is some of the best music I've ever heard in my life. I expect, in heaven, this outro is readily available and Mr. Howe plays the &^%$ out of the solo for eternity. I'll be listening. |
