I like to listen to TFTO,but just for beauty and flow,and seamlessness,I have to prefer Close To The Edge. To be really just three songs,they're always over before I know it. I like prog rock,but I have to sit down and intend to listen to most of it-not Close To The Edge. It just goes and flows and gets my attention without any effort on my part.
Interesting one of the lines Anderson sings at the very beginning of Revealing Science of God....
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories,
disjointed but with purpose...
I agree. Close is almost totally seemless. And there are parts that are almost love ballad type material, so it's not so religion/spiritual/mystic based.
