Is this statement still true about the band: "The only real complaint I have of this album is it still hasn't seen the light of day as a CD reissue, so you'll have to find the original LP, which isn't easy to come by, but if you can get a hold of a copy, it's really well worth it. So if you want some intense, jamming progressive jazz rock, get this album without hesitation."?
Do you know if there is a CD reissue yet, and if so where can I find it?

Close to the Edge has "Jazzed" influences also. "The main ascending theme in the song's intro was pulled together by Steve, Bill, and Chris, and based on a Bill Concept-not surprising, given the drummer's JAZZ sensibilities, though the entrie band at the time fell under the spell of the instrumental intensity of the Mahavishnu Orchestra."

king of twilight maybe...
something off the down to earth album?
i know three of the albums are pretty much one big ass song, with 'parts'
that probably doesnt help any...

well anyway, I found a perfect condition used Genesis - "Selling England by the Pound" remaster for like $9 at my local record shop so I picked it up... I know it's apparently one of the obvious big ones I should have when it comes to prog, "The Battle of Epping Forest" is seriously good stuff... flippin' awesome (in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice)
I like Phil Collins, I'd also purchased a couple Brand X albums some weeks ago, he stands out to me behind the kit

brand X is pretty terrible. but good buy with the selling england. interestingly enough, id say battle of epping forest is the weakest track on the album. definitely pay attention to dancing with the moonlit knight and ESPECIALLY the cinema show.

anybody like magma?
i'm listening to 1001 centigrades right now, pretty dope shit
Ki iahl o liak is a tasty song!
i like this crazy shit, i also like dissonant wild free form type stuff too, i just downloaded henry cow - legend, and some zappa, hopefully that will give me a fix.
any bands similar to this that you'd recommend?

Only heard one Magma so far, but definitely plan on ordering the trilogy compilation. So out there that description fails miserably.
You read anything on the story of those albums btw? Hahaha such nonsense, yet it works so well.

that whole "battle of epping forest, this is the battle of epping forest" part was really catchy, I think that's why it stood out for me especially the first time around... anyway it'll get more spins
Brand X is terrible? I'm enjoying it at least right now, that's all that matters to me... but what do you recommend for music in that vein then that you feel is high quality?
also, anyone have anything to say about:
-Indukti
-how Nektar's "Down to Earth" and/or "A Tab in the Ocean" overall compares to "Remember the Future" or "Recycled"
-any noteable sophisticated metal bands, "progressive" or not, possibly in the death metal or thrash metal veins? (musically similar to where Opeth, Edge of Sanity, or even Enslaved would lie...)
-other good Yes albums to grab (I have Close to the Edge)... Relayer or Fragile perhaps are good to grab next?
-Gryphon
-Groundhogs
-Frank Zappa's "Hot Rats"
-Ulver: "Perdition City", "Blood Inside", or "Themes..."
-Gentle Giant: "In a Glass House", "The Power and the Glory", or "Octopus"
-Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
