>>3826 alright, I am giving my views on the songs. That Oko song sure was weird. I´ve checked that is the opener of that album and oh boy, it shows that they don´t sing in English. Despite picking up the shortest song, I don´t feel it that much, not because of the execution but because while I know how prog works, I feel like something is wrong with it and I cannot tell what it is.
About Epiphany, this brings me hope in terms that you are used to listening to prog metal+ epic music with a touch of melancholy and desperation. Now, while this sounds much nicer than the previous one and I am noticing where you come from with that complaint of music today in the mainstream has no message. Combining classical music with a philosophical message with a touch of prog sounds like a combination that well, the hymn for those who listen to it. Now, the whole album is 2 hours long, this band is made for single songs. Pic related somewhat sums up the epic sound of this one.
However, holy shit, that Crack the Sky song holds up and pretty well today. Nothing too complicated but damn, it is enjoyable. I believe that I must have seen that album cover somewhere while looking up for prog rock records. If there was an old forgotten recommendation to rediscover, I would pick this one. Instant favorite and for very good reasons. I think that this album will be discussed as an underrated record form the 70s. This familiar sound might be because I am used to listening to Rush nowadays.
About Gordian Knot, that album was released in 2003 and I am kind of regretting it now looking at the chart. The best thing that I can say is that despite not having the old glory, the former members of Genesis and King Crimson sure made this to bring haunting feels in this 21st century. I think this is the soundtrack that should fit while looking at one picture that you admire... >>3589. The most melancholic of the bunch and I can see why it fits for the introverted mentality. I suppose that one needs more listens in order to appreciate the full joy of this song and comes as downright personal feelings that make this truly shine. I believe that have linked this song because I posted this one >>3775.
