2249 Pallas - March on Atlantis

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41SMRN3EBRL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
From: The Sentinel; Year: 1984; Genre: Progressive Rock
I was thinking of picking another track from Pallas today; this is yet another track from their epic The Sentinel album. After checking I noticed that after this choice only the song Atlantis is left from the album's original concept for me to pick; what can I say, it's a great album.
It still amazes me about these "Neo-Progressive" bands from the late 70's into the 80's is how they were able to make it in a time musically where it seemed that essentially showed greater concept, virtuosity, or anything outside of the three-chord-trick was unfashionable. Sure, there are other times in musical history where it would've been worse for a progressive rock band to try and make it, but they had their work cut out for them.

Hear March on Atlantis on YouTube. Blocked in the U.S., sorry.
Watch a live performance of the Atlantis Suite circa 1986 on YouTube.
