Deep Purple - Knocking at your back door



One of my favorites too. 
 
But the little synth pieces Steve Miller did were great too.
 
...



The opening of his first album ... "Sailor" with the foghorns in the harbor kinda thing ... was pretty cool and a beautiful entry piece right behind it. And segue into "Dear Mary" ... great start for an album, actually.

Hi
 
Various ... trying to remember them now.
 
Amon Duul 2 - Wolf City. The transition between "Surrounded by the Stars" and Green Bubble Raincoated Man" is incredible. The song ends after a duet, and it turns into a "dream" (as I call it) with the sawing of a log, and it continues softly, with a few bass notes meandering, and it then ripps into the next song.
 
Amon Duul 2 - Vive La Trance. The opening bars of "Mozambique" are insane. A communal humming suggesting an African tribe. And then it starts ...
 
Clap your hands
Because you're gonna die
Every victim is searching for his hangman
Every hunter is stalking his prey
Victim find a victim and hang the hangman
Better to die as a free man than to live as a slave
Clap your hands
Because you're gonna die
The white beast is in the villages
Dealing only in death
With his soul left behind him
He is
The raper of women
Mutilator of children
Murderer of men
 
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - The World is My Oyster/Welcome to the Pleasure Done ... awesome entry to a great 30 minutes that needs to be played LOUD ... and non-stop.
 
Guru Guru - UFO (the song on the 1st album). Non stop 10 minutes of guitar insanity. You would think only Jimi can do that! Here's the next chapter, and some sound effects added towards the end.
 
Hawkwind - Earth Calling - the opening to their "Space Ritual" opus concert.
 
Hawkwind - Black Elk speaks - American native drumming with some words by Black Elk, leads into a bass riff ... really well done, and not the first time Hawkwind did this. At the end of "Electric Tepee" you get a another moment at the end of the album. Wonderful close to the album, as if this was just a great dance of the spirit, which the album is.
 
Klaus Schulze - Mirage - The opening of "Velvet Voyage" is as dreamy and out there as anything I have ever heard.
 
PFM - "L'isola di Niente" ... the opening piece with the full choir leading into an incredible opening. It was actually the first thing I ever heard by PFM, also. (The World Became the World -- for American release)
 
Seventh Wave - Things to Come - The opening of side two with what appears to be an incredible avalanche of sound/rocks, really brings this album home. It's a sonic experience in its keyboards. The 2nd album (Psy-Fi) is also very good, with several really fine pieces.
 
Beethoven's 5th of course needs to be on the list?
 
(more as I peruse my collection)

One of my favorite Deep Purple intros is to Lazy, which I never really appreciated until I had to learn it.

John Fogerty - Rockin' All Over the World.

Not the wishy washy Status Quo version.

Cheers,

Siberian Khatru - Yes
 
In The Flesh? - Pink Floyd
I love the way The Wall starts quietly (by quoting it's ending) and then the band kicks in loudly.
 
 
Best spoken intro:
"Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members" - The Beatles (John Lennon) before For You Blue

And the title doesn't seem to restrict us to songs, so I'll say pretty much any James Bond movie.
