One of the first progressive rock instrumentals

[edit]

Does anyone agree that this instrumental (the studio version) may be regarded as one of the first prog rock tracks ever recorded? I mean that its structure is very different by the usual psychedelic style of that time. --Doktor Who 18:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nick never played the crashes...just the riff

[edit]

It says that the Live in Pompeii version is unique because Nick doesn't play cymbals, but on all videos (Kralingen/Some random footage/Pompeii) it is clear that Roger always played crash cymbals while Nick did the motif, and if you listen to Ummagumma, Nick is playing the motif with virtually impossible cymbal rolls, and we can tell that the rhythm is not a tape loop, as the riff changes now and again (see 4:16/4:44 for example.) So I am gonna change that, and put this here so you understand... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Woody1003 (talkcontribs) 21:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

It sounds like Tangerine Dream, this song does

[edit]

But, Tangerine Dream hadn't released anything at the time! Ha!

We could add something about the influence on TD if anyone can find a source... --h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Auximines? Hercules?

It's "Hercules" in the 1968 BBC session but Auximines almost everywhere else - I think. BBC citation should be easy. Just dipped into Inside Out and can't find Auximines, though it seems to be listed that way in all the "The Man / The Journey" performances. Infojunkie23 (talk) 13:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
