Great moments in music

[PH]

I would also make a note that if you want to buy The Dream Sequencer and Flight Of The Migrator, you'd better buy them as a double disc: The Universal Migrator.

- The Dream Sequencer (1 CD) [2000]
- Flight Of The Migrator (1 CD) [2000]

- Universal Migrator (2 CDs) [2005]
This is a reissue of the two discs. Which makes it a double disc now.

Happy buying, Nicky!

Marillion - Anoraknophobia
2. Quartz

That part where H sings "It's so hard. So hard." and the music becomes a mood. Beautiful!

[The Butterfly Man]

Frost* - Milliontown, from 14:00 until 16:54.

I was listening this on my iPod while jogging tonight. Sure I had acknowledged Milliontown as a stunning song but I had a MAJOR goosebumps-moment (although it's not very cold outside ) from 14:00 onwards. This, guys and gals in, is what music is all about! It starts with a nice and gentle piano part, then at 15:40 the acoustic guitar enters and it starts to sound a bit more 'hopeful' and then at 16:00 there's this big, happy synth-led section. That, together with Jem singing 'I loooooooooooooooose' gives me such a great feeling.

Circus Maximus' Mouth Of Madness, about halfway through, the long instrumental part builds up, and then opens up into a section with very marked drums and the synth plays a very simple pattern, shortly after added some staccato voice harmonies or shouts, giving the effect of an ancient big Roman arena, the Circus Maximus.

And there are so many other great passages in this composition, aint there Tom ?  This music is stellar 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !

[Appelmoes??]

The complete Forever-saga of Ayreon. Too bad the story has ended though. But what a grand masterpiece

[marcello]

The whole song is amazing, but the last bit....

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty One",
The Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead His children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.

WOOOOOAAAAHHHHH

Suppers ready by genesis

WOOOOOAAAAHHHHH

Suppers ready by genesis 

Agreed!
Whoa fantastic song!

[maddox]

The complete Forever-saga of Ayreon. Too bad the story has ended though. But what a grand masterpiece

I obviously must agree with this.

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
2. Shallow

The part where it all explodes and the instruments go chaos.
That's really cool. But everybody here in the house hates it and thinks it is noise (and they're right! )

[kmorse]

Marcello,

I once read that even Phil Collins got goosebumps from singing that passage from Supper's Ready.

Keith

[Steve Jones]

The bit that goes 'Ting!' not far into Rush's Hemispheres.

The way the bass in 'This Way Madness Lies' nearly reaches escape velocity.

The 'you can tell me by the way I walk' bit in 'I Know What I Like' by Genesis.  Many authorities now accept not joining in at this point as proof of death.

When the guitar really lets rip in Ozric Tentacles' 'White Rhino Tea'

The way the guitar builds in the Biarritz version of 'Serenity'

The melancholy (and infinite sadness?) of Porcupine Tree's 'Heart Attack in a Lay-by'

Barriemore Barlow's relentless progress around the drumkit as Tull's 'Bursting Out' version of 'No Lullaby' kicks off.

I could go on...

[Iggy]

The last bit of Awaken on Going for the One
After the rick Wakeman bit and the harp about 10:19 in. It builds up and up to the crescendo.

Opera Fanatica
Ascension
Suppers Ready
Comfortably Numb
The eye of Ra 5:40
Piano bit in Private Investigations
Pictures at Exhibition  11:30 sent to the gates bit Elp
A kings prayer Flower kings (ok no great moment fantastic song  )
Child in Time Live with Gillan screaming
Every Strangers eyes 2:48 for 20 secs Roger Waters Pros and cons of hitchiking
Kashmir Led Zeppelin

And on a less serious note
You'll never walk alone Gerry and the pacemakers at their best
(okay spot the Liverpool fan. I promise though if any of you ever go to Anfield on a Eurpoean night the hairs will be up on the back of your neck)

And the unforgettable guitar solo in Canyons of your mind by the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band

I have had a fantastic afternoon working and listening. It is interesting to find out that some fantastic songs don't have great moments they are fantastic from strat to finish.

[bluepony]

Several bits and pieces in Nightwish's "The Poet And The Pendulum" - too many to mention, but if you listen to the song, I think you'll notice them.

[PH]

I can't believe that no one (me included) hasn't mentioned THAT guitar solo in Black Light Machine!

It's one of the best guitar solos!
In the same list as with Hackett's solo in Firth Of Fifth.


It's amazing...

[The Butterfly Man]

From the 7-minute mark onwards in IQ's Guiding Light.

Check it out to see (hear) what I mean...Brilliant!

Tom

[PH]

Yeah Tom! So right about that one!
But the beginning of the song is also a great piece of piano work.


-Paco

[The Butterfly Man]

Yeah Tom! So right about that one!
But the beginning of the song is also a great piece of piano work.

Indeed. The whole song is a masterpiece. Really one of IQ's finest tracks. But the last part of the song is pure bliss if you ask me!

[bellanova]

I stood before the world and gave you my heart
And it may never beat again!

From Tears In The Rain. At the Arena gig in April, this had me in floods of tears and that was before i even met Mark. But then theres so much stuff that moves me that i couldnt even begin to list them.
