    Sure, it’s mainly shouting a bunch of random Catalan words and different historical names for the island of Ibiza (plus recitation of a refrain of an old Balearic folk song), but I think it’s a masterpiece:



    Honourable mention to “A Story of Mysterious Forest” by Ain Soph.

    Baker Street Muse. An actual suite.

    Supper's Ready is possibly my favorite and my favorite almost side long epic track.

    Oh but that's only if it counts as a suite which maybe it doesn't. I don't know. Maybe it's too long and yet at twenty three minutes still does not qualify as side long.

    It's ok, we can throw pies in their faces if they try to tell us a forty minute track or something like TFK's "garden of dreams" or Transatlantic's "all of the above" are side long.

    Good One. May not count as a suite, but Journey's Friend by Unitopia would be near the top as would Harvest of Souls by IQ.

    Are vintage rock operas suites? Then I would select S.F. Sorrow, Tommy and Quadrophenia, plus A Quick One While He's Away, side two of Small Faces' 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (Happiness Stan)' and Vox Dei's 'La Biblia'.

    According to Shadow (post 337 on page 14 http://www.progressiveears.org/forum...-period/page14) Just As I Thought will be re-released in September. Maybe he knows on which label and if it includes some extra's (like "Dance Of The Age Of Enlightenment"....).
