His health issues creep up yet again. No additional news available since Monday. I hope he’ll be OK.

This is a great track here, a great one to listen while drawing. I have never noticed every lyric for all before as I kind of listen while doing stuff. Genisis is one of my favorite bands though along with King Crimson, Yes, and many others at least in Progressive Rock.

This is more music I like. I will dig down in to my music to see if I have anything to share that is a similar style, not exact to this as I don’t have many similar to this exact style, but I like many various classical or orchestral music.

This is one of those albums where the entire album is essentially one single song and fictional story/universe split in to multiple tracks kind of like chapters so some songs seamlessly transition to each other without cutting. So I have also pasted the full playlist from the producers channel.
The plot is easier to show via wikipedia, since on the album you usually have a booklet.

Band: Ayreon
Album: Into the Electric Castle
Style: Progressive Rock, progressive metal, space rock
Release Date: 31st October 1998

If you want to hear what the first song after the prologue above is like then it is this. Builds up until the three minute mark. But this song technically has 4 parts in of itself.

Love a good concept album. I’ve posted one or two of my favourites before, but the most recent one I’ve had in rotation is Devin Townsend’s “Ziltoid the Omniscient” - a roughly 1 hour long album about an intergalactic warlord in search of the universe’s finest coffee.

Lighthearted but still fantastically heavy for a prog-inspired piece (but then that describes a lot of Townsend’s output) , dude recorded it all as a one-man act just to prove he could.

I’ve listened to the full album, I enjoyed listening it and musically impressive, especially if it was done via one person.

Here is another Album I like which is a similar light hearted drama comedy tone as well on some parts. It if from Gandalfs Fist, The clockwork Fable, a mixture of instruments too.

Band: Gandalf’s Fist
Album: Clockwork Fable
Released: 2016
Genre: Progressive Rock
