There is a certain type of Pike he does which has me listening to it over and over again. I appreciate the riffing ones but sometimes they don't scratch the itch for what I want, which is shred. I also love his solo shredding-over-3-repeated-chords stuff, but it can get exhausting sometimes, no matter how much I like it.

What I like most is the Pikes with a bit more structure, they usually start with the rhythm riffing and then end up in the shred arena I love so much. I'm looking for 20 minute+ solid musical journeys.

The three best examples I can think of are!

Wall Slide

Project Little Man

Treehouse Backwards In Time.

Thank you in advance and not to be a dick, but yes I have listened to Pike 65 a million times already 😅

EDIT - ON a side note, I don't really like his skronky stuff, but Language of the Mosaics is on my permanent repeat listen list. The injection of a lovely developing melody in the midst of that chaos is wonderful for me. If you have any skronk+melody recommendations too, my ear is always open.

Siege Engine is one of my favourite tracks of his but when I heard the new version, it certainly put a smile on my face. I'd really like to hear more studio recorded reimaginings of his older favourites too.

Edit - I'm referring to the alternate version of the track on the album Clockunwise. I put it in quotation marks because that's what it's titled as!
