follow men's eye as they look to the skies, the shifting shafts of shining weave the fabric of their dreams

New World Man

Territories

Between the Wheels

[grasbo]

As well as all the classics like 2112 and Xanadu i like Presto and You Bet Your Life where Alex does his dreamy fade out solos.And yes the ending to Marathon was over to soon ,it could have been as grandiose as the climax of Awaken by Yes.

My #1 too-soon fadeout is Different Strings. Feels like Alex is about wail just as it fades.

[HemiBeers]

Red Barchetta.

 

This wrote the book on how to properly build dynamics into a song. Start slow, build up, hit full stride and gently fade.

[invisible airwave]

Spinning, whirling,

Still descending

Like a spiral sea,

Unending

Sound and fury

Drowns my heart

Every nerve

Is torn apart....

[malnar]

Countdown

Secret Touch

[lifeson90]

Changing my choice for second time and sticking this time because there was never really any choice but The Garden outro

 

Alex just driving out those last notes on the last song of the last studio album in his own powerful way, just so f*cking emotional. Like the last few moments of this great band's great career driven to the end as powerfully as it gets, i tear up every time man :(

 

No choice, has to be The Garden

[Hunted Witch]

That soaring guitar from the fadeout on Presto makes me think of everything that was good about the 80's.

[Blue Barchetta]

All good choices so far. I like Subdivisions and Limelight. Killer drumming.

The Necromancer

Different Strings

Vital Signs

Grand Designs

Mission

Available Light

You Bet Your Life

Animate

Everyday Glory

The Wreckers

[Rhyta]

Secret Touch. Loved how they used it in Beyond the Lighted Stage, showing Neil driving off on his motorcycle. Looking down at the curves he's negotiating. Spot on.

[briere2112]

Mission and Animate are a couple of my favorites.

[Weatherman]

Red Barchetta live versions, where guitar and bass double each other on that little motif. You know the one.

It's better than the recorded MP version.

[yyz305]

Presto

[mattroland76]

"Mission" is the first one that comes to mind for me.

[Waclimino]

Out of the Cradle, with its all-out attack on drums (especially by the very end), should definitely be mentioned.

[mattroland76]

Alex's guitar solo on the outro to "Mission" :codger:

[jnoble]

The end of Grand Designs
