  • I personally think American Pie is too long. It's a classic and has a wonderful melody, but would be better if it came in around four minutes. Way too many choruses.
  • 'Light as a Feather' .. Return to Forever
  • The End - The Doors
  • Champagne Supernova

    Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay

    Deluge Grander - Inaugural Bash
    Dark Buddha Rising - Enneathan
    KTL - Theme
    Pharaoh Sanders - The Creator Has A Master Plan
    Blue Gene Tyranny - A Letter From Home (ok this one falls 10 seconds short, whatever. maybe replace with Autechre - elyc6 0nset)

    No argument from me on that one!

    His live version on 'Weld' is also stunning.

    Good shout also on Show of Hands.
