2613 Yes - The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun)

From: Tales from Topographic Oceans; Year: 1973; Genre: Progressive Rock

It's about the first time in a week that I've been feeling somewhat normal, so I'm able to more energy into my pick today.
Anyway, this is one of the four epic tracks off of Yes' double album Tales from Topographic Oceans, which also included only four songs. Each one of the four songs took up a whole side of a record and this song is actually the 'baby' coming in at a paltry 18 and 1/2 minutes. Yep, this is progressive rock at its best (or worst) depending on your tastes, but in my opinion is a great track.
