Anybody heard the obscure progressive rock gem from 1972 by the band 2066 And Then entitled "Reflections on the Future"? It's got some really great stuff, IMO. 4 epic rock tracks, followed by a short number to end the album. The opener "At My Home" (which is actually 8 minutes long, not 5:12 as PA says it is) and the title track (16 minutes) are the best of the bunch. There's a lot of great guitar solos and keyboard solos, and some pretty dramatic songs.

| I believe I've heard something by them when I was in charge of the Art Rock team, and we started a brief-lived cleanup session. Due to their name, they were one of the first bands to be listed. Anyway, I remember their music quite impressed me. |

It's a truly great album, probably my favorite German album of all. Sometimes it gets lopped in with "krautrock," but it reminds me more of British proto-prog or the Italians, but with more complex arrangements. There are supposedly 2 or 3 different versions of the album, some only existing on vinyl IIRC. ------------- www.emkog.com |

Twenty Sixty Six and Then is really great. Sad that they have only one album (though few versions of it..). My favourite songs are maybe "The Way That I Feel Today" and "Spring". Also "Reflections On The Future" (but I think there's too much soloing) and "Time Can't Take It Away" are quite epic. I think the music is somehow nicely... warm.
