Incredible! What can you say? Epitaph alone is worth this purchase. And while I'm on the subject of that song, I'm really surprised it's not higher on the songs list! I mean, come on!

Canterbury scene is such a different beast. I hate that it's lumped together with symphonic prog (though you're right that it usually is).

Well Lizard is quite different. It's a bit more playful, and mixes in a bit of 60s psych pop/folk. I always feel like it's King Crimson playing the BeeGees.

That's an odd thought, I'm intrigued. Thanks.

Nah, I probably won't like any of theirs more than this (if I recall, Lark's Tongue in Aspic came closest), I'm just rarely in the mood for prog in general...But, the mood'll come sometime for sure. And I ought to try Lizard anyways. :P

An album full of these super long songs which didn't catch me. King Crimson did this thing which I can't like. Think they had one album which sounded like Talking Heads though.

Lots of great moments here. I particularly like, "I Talk to the Wind." I have a little trouble with the last track, though... it sounds too over-the-top corny for my ears.

I haven't listened to this in a long time, but I associate it with being stripped of anything human - just the sound of musicians playing technically good music, it just feels a little bit nerdy? I need to hear it again, though.
