lesser-known yet excellent Prog albums

These 80's efforts are in my personal-favourites, yet rarely see anyone mention them. Even Youtube doesn't have them in full-album format. I have them on CD.

- Introduction by Shub Niggurath: moody atmospheric psychedelic instrumental, with some dark-angel vocals. Superior to their later album which had some of the same compositions. Excellent sound on a big fat system. Full album officially here:

- A Fiïèh by Offering: more well-known as Magma, this side-project had its ups & downs but they finished with this beautiful stunning album. The first 3 tracks especially are godly. Here's the title track, sounding like a sermon from the heavens:

- Carmina Burana by Ray Manzarek: the Doors keysman does his version of proto-zeuhl monster Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Rock + Orff is delicious! Here's the famous bit:

What's the longest song you acctually listen to?

For me it's Amarok (1 hour) and The Whirlwind (1 hour and 17 min), but I'm curious if y'all know longer ones that are good

Crying about songs

Do any of you guys end up crying cause a song is too good...not even out of sadness, like, just pure admiration...???

Every single time I listen to Trilogy by elp I end up tearing up...even in public it makes me so happy
