I think you missed the point of my last post Neil.

I was replying to your comment that "This is the sort of thing that gives prog a bad name"

One piece of music CAN'T prejudice a whole genre.

That's like saying that just because you don't like cheddar cheese then ALL cheese must be bad......nonsense!

List a few of the bands, composers, artists, ANYTHING that you really like. I expect there will be a few we agree are good, some which I think are "almost there" and some which I think are c**p.

For the record. with the PG piece you're talking about. On it's own it doesn't work but in the context of the whole work it's vital.

Buy it and listen to the whole thing and tell me what you think then.
