Easily amused. |
| This kind of got on my tits for a bit, Bill seemed to be playing it way too much, but now I'm OK with it again. It's a clever tune, really.

| I can see why they quickly followed this album with "The King is Dead"... They were becoming Yes really fast.

I could not agree more. This is one of the few albums produced in the last decade where the Whole is substantially greater than the sum of its parts. Too few are worth setting aside 50 minutes (or whatever ) to sit and really listen to the music. This one is. I have it rated in my personal Top Ten Complete Albums of All Time.
Sorry Pachelbel, you got booted off the list.
Bill, I liked your medley so much I got the CD and joined the first 6 tracks using iTunes while ripping for playback on my iDevices. it's great! There is also a cool program called Merge MP3 that I plan to use to merge a few of my favorite tracks that go together like peanut & jelly. |
| I LOVE this. I had somehow missed this album—of course, I heard a song here and song there, but having them altogether is spectacular. After I first heard this set on RP, I got the album and listened to it all the way through about 30 times in a few weeks.

Yep, it does seem that some people just have no patience with the idea of songs which flow into each other - is that what this internet age has wrought?

Best they never listen to a Pink Floyd album all the way through... As a pre-teen who watched the internet form, and PC's go from monochromatic to color, I straddle both worlds of extended play LP's and MP3's...just the other day someone younger than me said the same as I "I miss the early Napster." I would add that I miss open file directories in the residence halls on campus! With nearly 8,000 on campus residents, it was copy whatever you wanted. Some of us have the patience...I comment nearly every time I download a 6+ minute mp3 for $.89-$1.29...It's like 2 for 1  |

I had to import all 6 tracks into an audio editor & stitch them back together. I used to use a CD ripper that would let you adjust the start & end points of a track (that's how I acquired the extended Dark Side Of the Moon medley that we play here, for instance) but the program that I'm using these days doesn't have that feature.
On a related note, this is an instance where the per-track sales & distribution model really falls apart. Even if you buy the whole album via iTunes or Amazon, you're left with a grossly substandard listening experience, since the album can't flow together nicely like it's supposed to. Lame.

| I like the song, but wish it was a little shorter. If I was there watching them in concert, yes, this would be great, but I'm not. I am sitting here in front of my computer and zoned out for a while only to come back to life and realize this song was still playing.
