What about Eloy's spoken stuff in "Dawn" and a few others I can't
remember off the top of my head.Moody Blues strike a bell here too-they
did get a bit strange in a couple of spots....I agree that MM"s stuff
would qualify. Sure is interesting  to me that we're actually listening
to, albeit in a much different way, that we're listening to our parents
record collection:)Mom would kill for the Spiral Realms stuff, as well
as some of the others I enjoy. Betcha she'd really like Wolfstone:)
Hmmmm.

Rock on!
