"Mei" by Echolyn

Not the longest song of their classic era (that would be the 12:12 "Incomudro - Hymn to the Atman" from Song for America) but the longest Kansas song title is definitely...

"Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon/Man Overboard/Industry on Parade/Release the Beavers/Gnat Attack" (from Leftoverture)

Marcus - "Rise Unto Falcon". Kind of an outlier on the album but you can't fail with a title like that.

I blurted out "Echolyn's Mei" when I first read this thread title but before seeing that frogbs had, not surprisingly, already listed it. Off to play it now, thanks for the reminder...

i've been loving this lately. technically jazz-funk fusion, but plenty of prog moves. their last album was on Motown. this is from 1976.

omitting prog-metal, which is a HUGE omission, because the number of incredible US progressive metal compositions i know is in the dozens,

deluge grander - inaugural bash
extra life - diagonal power
the mars volta - any one of about 20 songs

are all completely fucking essential

and then this that came out yesterday. it's by a friend of mine so be nice, but it's so good you won't even have to
