A truly excellent bit of Prog. Also I'm reading my way through Stephen King's Dark tower sequence, so the Crimson King takes on a whole new significance...
Because we all love 15/4 time...
If you want a relaxed album to listen to but is still interesting enough to be thought provoking i would recommend The Dark Third by Pure Reason Revolution, something that beggars all reasonable attempts at description and so i am forced to refer to as "acoustic electro prog metal". It is a genuinely odd album, more enough mood-music for neo-metalheads, a sort of "pop goth" almost, but well worth a listen in a relaxed way. This is the second track from the album, but the tracks meld into each other so readily that track number is not a meaningful discription. so here is an arbitrary segment of an album that should really only be listened to when played in it's entirety.

with it...)
