TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Oct. 06 2005, 00:42 I remember being really impressed by 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' by Rick Wakeman when I was 13 but I haven't heard it since then and while I am here I might as well mention 'War of the Worlds'. But some of that stuff on Mustys list which I have never heard I would love to get hold of. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 09:18 Do pieces intended as one, but composed by several parts, count? If yes, my favs other than M.O. are JMJ's "Oxygène" and Pink Floyd's "Shine on", parts 1 to 5 (or Part 1). -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Piltdownboy on horseback 22 Group: Members Posts: 1548 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 09:31 Someone mentioned Concerto for a Rainy Day by ELO, and I have to agree on that! I also love Rime of the Ancient Mariner by David Bedford and also The Fall of the House of Usher by The Alan Parsons Project and (I guess only Dutch people will know this one:) Song of the Marching Children and Atlantis, both by Earth & Fire (Dutch progressive group). Echoes by the Floyd is great as well... Greetings, Runaway Son from Holland -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

I always wondered what ever happened to the old funk/soul band "Earth, Wind and Fire". Probably Wind stayed home. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Piltdownboy on horseback 22 Group: Members Posts: 1548 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 12:20 Hahaha, luckily Earth and Fire has nothing to do with that 70's disco band Earth Wind and Fire It's more like the Dutch Pink Floyd I think, but then not as famous! Although its singer is now one of the jury members of Idols   . Greetings, the King of Rock and Roll: Piltdownboy -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

Sonilink Group: Members Posts: 393 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: Oct. 08 2005, 14:58 And in Punkish mood there is Nofx's "The Decline" it's a punk masterpiece... -------------- Take the Time Back to top

Wayfarer Group: Members Posts: 308 Joined: June 2002 Posted: Oct. 08 2005, 17:07 Long piece? Hmmmm... The whole 'The War of the Worlds' album by Jeff Wayne.  It's really a masterpiece. And a great example of the 'my first record was a masterpiece so I decided not to release anything less' syndrome. I sometimes guess what could have Jeff Wayne done if he'd signed with Virgin... ;-) -- Wayfarer -------------- My homepage - www.thewayfarer.info My search - www.cannotbefound.com My community - www.taurusiv.net My luthier - www.artluthier.com Back to top
