Jordan's signature solo? Solitary Shell's opening.
Straight and to the point yet melodically gorgeous and a clever wink to the '70s prog keyboards/moog tradition.
Geez... quoting you again in this thread.
Big +1 for Solitary Shell as I hear it in my head when I think about JR... also LTE's Kindred Spirits (beginning and breakdown). That's JR to me. I remember hearing Kindred Spirits for the first time on vacation with a buddy in Myrtle Beach in 99... still smell salt when I hear that song (and taste sand from several epic wipeouts while surfing
)
I revisited BC&SL this past Sunday... started with Count on the way to Church because my wife woke up humming it, and ended up listening to the rest of the album that afternoon. Gotta say that Nightmare would really have been an epic song with just a few trims and Rite has aged really well for me as well. It's been a long, long time since I spun that album and I enjoyed it.
My wife and I will miss MM (my wife was always drawn to MM live, especially when he was touring in the "box" kit set-up), but at the same time I'm glad to see MP back and look forward to meeting him again and seeing him live with DT again.
