1755 Quasar - Mission 14

From: Fire in the Sky; Year: 1981; Genre: Progressive Rock

After the extended weekend and all, getting another workweek started is proving itself to be more than a bit of a chore. I really didn't have a song in mind for today, however for some reason I felt like listening to something from the second wave of prog bands, (or what is referred to by some as "neo-progressive rock"); of course Quasar in one of my favourites of that ilk.
While I love most of the music on this album, this epic 13 minute track is one that I particularly like. When I listen to this track I always get a feel of nostalgia; this is really the sound I grew up hearing a lot over the years. I suppose you could say the sound is a bit dated, but it's still quite excellent nevertheless.
