Who put you in charge of musical taste…..music issubjective. Just because you don’t have the musical skill to playit doesn’t make you the judge.
Please post some of your recordings so we can compare it to yourcompositions…….even if you don’t like that style of musicmost any musician would
likely appreciate the skill it took to write and perform.

It's shite.
Close to the Edge has its momentsbut they are few and far between. As for TalesI tried on the insistence of a friend (who was more likely a twat) to get intothat album by playing it in the dark, while working, while doing nothing, whilebathing, cooking, hoovering whatever. I must have played it through about eightor nine times. It truly is music with noredeeming features, not unlike Worksor Humphrey Bogart's characters in AngelsWith Dirty Faces. If anyone can really point me out to any part ofit that doesn't sound like animals in anabattoir then please do so.

Topographic Oceansis a masterpiece, in my opinion.
It's something(like water) to immerse yourself in (pardon the pun).
Sorry but itcan'thelp to be introduced to the piece so many years after it's release.
Times and tasteshave changed, but Close to the Edge and Tales are still fresh to my ears andmany live experiences with both albums refreshes the feelings everytime.
My 2 cents worth,
Tony

Caffeine will nothelp in the attempt to enjoy Topographic Oceans. It will only frustrate you.Try the opposite end of the narcotic spectrum- barbiturates.

Itdoesn't matter if we are talking about the music, album cover art, lyrics ormullets. I can say that the Tarkus album cover art was complete crap. Someoneelse can say it was the best album cover ever. It would be awfully boring ifeveryone agreed on everything.
Speaking of boring... Topographic Oceans - I've tried many times to get intothat album. I will try again, after a few Red Bulls.
