In progressive music that is (if we counted classical Beethovens String Quartet No.14 would win by a mile) for me it has got to be Supper's Ready for the combination of amazing music and lyrics and also Song of Scheherazade is hard to forget any other suggestions? -------------

Sorry, but I don't think there is a beautometer. However, the meditation from the opera "Thais" by Jules Massenetr would be a good candidate. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

There are many beautiful pieces, which make the question too difficult to answer. In the progressive rock world I could mention
the instrumental interlude of Firth of fifth (frome the flute till the guitar solo (including it)),
the track Mad man moon
the instrumental Waters of Lethe (Tony Banks solo)
the guitar solo and subsequent melody line from Incubus (Marillion)
Into the classical Music, I don't listen about since a long time, but I remember the Albinoni Adagio or the Moonlight sonata from Beethoven. In the steppes of central Asia from Borodin is great too.

| Supper's Ready is a great choice, and might be mine too. That said, it's impossible for me not to be moved by "Comfortably Numb", so that's in the running too. |

wasn't really a request it is obviously a matter of opinion everything in music is i was just interested to see what other prog fans found to be 'most beautiful' piece of music, i find early genesis to be beautiful yet somebody else might suggest larks tongues in aspic to be so implying ignorance on my part is well...ignorant -------------

What the hell are you even talking about? When did I imply that you were ignorant? As you said, it's about my opinion, and guess what? I gave my opinion! What I feel is most beautiful changes much too often for me to give an exact answer. Jesus, even when I'm trying to steer clear of trouble on here, somebody has a problem with me.

I would say that judging by the way the question was formulated there can be one. If it were that type of question we all dearly love (what is the most beautiful piece of music ever?), then yes. But since this one is directed towards our own preferences and thus, subjectivity, i guess it's safe to say we all have our own 'beautometer.  So, the ones that immediately pop into mind are Quella Vecchia Locanda's Villa Doria Pamphili and A Forma Di, Tull's Pan Dance and Coronach, or Loudest Whisper's Overture and Septimus. |

Hi,
This is really hard.
There are way too many moments that stand out for me, and it is hard to find too many that come close.
If I were to name a few of them, here they are, and they maybe a part of the whole:
(in no particular order other than memory)
Gong - You (specially the 2 long cuts back to back!)
Gong - Floating Anarchy (side 2 non stop all the way through Ali Baba ... from magic brothers, mystic sisters ... and here we go!)
Ange - Au Dela Du Delire
Amon Duul 2 - Wolf City
Egberto Gismonti - No Caipira
Terje Rypdal and David Darling - Eos (skip first cut!)
Jan Garbarek - Eventyr
Ash Ra Tempel - New Age of Earth
Carmen - Fandangos in Space
Nektar - Recycled
Vangelis - El Greco
Riuichi Sakamoto - The Last Buddha Soundtrack
Vangelis - Blade Runner Soundtrack
Klaus Schulse - Sebastian in Traum (Audentity)
Mike Oldfield - Amarok (even if he thinks it's crap ... !)
I don't know when and where to stop ... sorry ------------- 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 |

I can remember going into Our Price records (yes it was that long ago) on about 3 occasions as I was so keen to get their latest album . I didnt buy music papers and the internet barely existed then so it was a shock to suddenly find Pete Nicholls was no longer involved and the intense raw power of The Wake had been replaced with shiney AOR
 . Over the years though my opinion shifted a little bit especially when I heard later live versions (with Pete Nicholls.... hurray!) of No Love Lost and Human Nature. |

There are pieces of classical music I would want to have ... hard to not ask for The Firebird Suite by Stravinsky ... but in the end the recording I have of Guy Guden's air play of this with Tomita's album is far superior ... and a total dream and synthesizers never sounded better. This was one of the far out things in that show that Guy is not willing to share with the public and it is a massive shame ...
I'm not sure that I would want to miss Renata Tebaldi and Birgit Nillson duking it out in Turandot with Leinsdorf directing ... the contrast in both sopranos is intense ... one is power the other is softness ... and they both let it all hang out! ... by comparison Duane and Eric only lasted 2 minutes!
Am I going to miss another performance of Adagietto by Terje Rypdal and David Darling (in Eos) ... which is "chamber music" with an electric guitar ... !!! It's enough to make you cry!
Am I going to pass up the call of "Soria Maria" by Jan Garbarek? (Eventyr album) ... NO!
Am I going to be able to get anyone here to sit through Egberto Gismonti's No Caipira i nits entirety? ....
But all in all, your time and mine has been about "something else" in music ... and it was all about CHANGE. A lot of that helped bring out many things and because I did travel a little and lived in 3 very different and distinct countries and lives ... that has been a benefit when it comes to listening to music ... I get bored with top ten real quick, including the prog top ten ... for example, because it tends to "sound the same" and have the same tendencies ... and when you listen to something like Tomita, or Gismonti, or that Rypdal album ... you will hear something else ... and that something else is what "music" is all about ... it is the visual, it is the picture ... it is the beauty that it brings forth!

Blaise Bailey Finnegan III by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Crystal Silence by Chick Corea. Ricochet by Tangerine Dream. Boundless Voyage (Final Fantasy III)and Prelude (Final Fantasy I) by Nobuo Uematsu from the album Pray. Sophisticated Lady by Duke Ellington (I know it's not "prog" but Jazz is progressive).

Bbf3 is an astonishing an also very mysterious song...we have no idea of who is really speaking and who really wrote the poem also featured in the song Virus from Maiden (written by Blaze)...because Blaise Bailey Finnegan the third is a deformation of Blaze Bayley from Iron Maiden (some people say that there's no relation between the two names but I don't believe it). Maybe the guy in Bbf3 (who is also speaking in the song Providence from Godspeed about the end of the world) was really the first to write this poem because in the song he says: I don't see why I shouldn't read you MY poem... |

My favorite song of all time (this is surprising) is not from Godspeed...it is from A Silver M.Zion (same guitarist) and the song is Sister! Brothers! Small Boats on fire are falling from the sky! This song is....no words to describe it...listen for yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-obKx7i15M ------------- It is all a dream, a dream in death... |

| One came to mi mind: Flairck's Deel 2 from Gevecht met de engel; not prog or rock, but an acoustic guitar piece of music with some violin and flute. |

Anyone else hear references to this in some of the Larks' Tongues in Aspic performances from The Great Deceiver? Quite beautiful in its own right. |

Agree with both of you here. My first listen to GY!BE was less than a year ago (it was "Lift Yr Skinny..") and on first listen I was transported into a sad tragic inner movie of my own life. I had to pull the car over and soak it all in. Geezus H Thumbscrews... I may like the following album (with "Rockets Fall...") even better too.
I saw "Aspirations" mentioned above, good call. That one's definitely up there. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

A lesser known one that I was listening to just now is by the Icelandic group Hinn Íslenski Þursaflokkur, who as far as I know only made one album in the late 70s but it's great - beauty, power, melodic charm, neat tunes, the works. One track in particular is just stunningly beautiful. I have to look it up again because all the titles are in Icelandic, which I can't even pronounce much less spell. It's track 8... "Skriftagangur" it's called. Jeepers. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |
