As a prog rock band I am surprised they are not

more famous. That was a pretty impressive piece

that covered alot of territory musically. While

I see the talent and some parts of it were

really quite good its not my style. I may listen

to it again though. . .thanks for re-posting.

This morning I am listening to their first six albums in order, followed by a 1971 live recording. 333 minutes of bliss!
