I am a prog rocker from long misty days and this is kick ass. Salute men.

[@tristanyoung3632]

I discovered these guys about two months ago...I'm a huge prog fan and I'm constantly looking for new music to listen to. How I hadn't heard of these guys earlier, I have no idea. This is incredible music! I'm buying this album first chance I get. Wow, I just love this 👏👍💙❤

[@mikereiss4216]

It's too bad these early albums are out of print but I suppose that doesn't matter if you just want to listen to the songs on youtube.

[@vincentdunne3642]

Heard them first on "The Jester" prog compilations Great source.

[@tristanyoung3632]

@@mikereiss4216 I agree, the convenience of KZbin is nice, but I definitely do prefer flipping through the inner sleeve reading the lyrics, admiring cover art, seeing band portraits, etc. if I have the opportunity.

[@tristanyoung3632]

@@vincentdunne3642 Hmm, I have to think that's a Marillion reference. Should check it out...🤔

Great song..had never heard this band before. Just did a search for Illuvatar cause of Tolkien interest..didn't even know there was a band.

masterpiece

[@lightningfirst689]

From time to time, when seeking out new music, I experience an involuntary intake of breath and a goofy, open-mouthed grin because what I heard was just that cool. 1:05 is such a time.

[@DragonNinja02]

...I'm stunned. Such an amazing song.

[@TheGamingUpdate]

This song is fucking fantastic. I don't know why I've never heard of this band before!

Same thing.

Just...wow. Great song... I must explore this band now....

[@williamwalker146]

I LOVED this! Immediately!

[@JeanPhilippeBoucher]

at 0:50, I added this to my fav... and when the singing started, I knew I wouldn't regret it.

[@fransantiago2152]

Reminds me of Pink Floyd mixed with Genesis :)

[@tristanyoung3632]

@@fransantiago2152 Yea totally! Idk if ur familiar with the band Galahad (also neo-progressive) and the vocals are so similar in tone to their singer, it's unbelievable! "Face to the Sun" is a good one. Vocals sound almost identical!

[@munsunsnight]

This is... beyond awesome.

[@philippekayser1797]

May Life hangs now before me, Some faint and hollow dream. Things I may remember, And some I haven't seen. Chivalry and valor, Have gone the way of pride. The tide is slowly turning, And there's nowhere left to hide. My thought turns to the common man, The lights gone from their eyes. Beneath their tattered robes, They hide the pieces of their lives. The time has changed from magic, To a world of human ways. An old magician wrings his hands, And begs for yesterday. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me join your alibi. With Godliness on our side, Surely we can't tell a lie. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me revel in your pain. The sacrifice of progress, Will destroy all that remains... The sounds that still remind me, Of the voices of the past; The wind that blows behind me, And the shattering of glass. The days are surely numbered, And the hours growing long. The echoes fade behind me, Like some old forgotten song. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me join your alibi. With Godliness on our side, Surely we can't tell a lie. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me revel in your pain. The sacrifice of progress, Will destroy all that remains... Days gone by forgotten, In ageless books and plays. The values of the ancients, Elude us to this day. A final word of warning, From the ashes of the past. What is put up in a hurry, Can surely never last. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me join your alibi. With Godliness on our side, Surely we can't tell a lie. Pull the knife out slowly Lord; Let me revel in your pain. The sacrifice of progress, Will destroy all that remains...

Awesome! Nice to know they're named after Eru Illuvatar, the God of Arda!

[@BETTO888]

Beautiful !!

[@prosoloist]

I must say that I am shocked that this tune has gotten THIS MANY plays . And it's obvious that it's not just the bands keyboard player geeking out and playing it over and over to pump it up. There are 969 reactions as of today. That's a lot for an obscure band as this.

[@andrebecker9581]

Wonderfull!!

[@gilsonquevedo3259]

The first time that I listened this gem was on a website. For those years youtube didn't even exist. I think we are talkin'bout 2002. The curious fact was that this gem wasn't available on neither of those P2P software (Napster, Ares, Kazaa), only on this website.

[@prosoloist]

I wonder if it was AOL radio you heard it on. Not many people know this band. Should have been a force to reckon with.

cuando tenia 13 años un tio me regalo este disco de iluvatar y ahora que tengo 26 rekuerdo cuando lo escuche por primera vez k locoo ...tambien tenia el disco donde sale la rola de exodus me gusta este disco de children asta pinte el cuadro a como pude jajaja de la portada "casi estaba identico" ahun lo tengoo jajajaj no se compara al original ....

[@prosoloist]

translation to English is something like this --- When I was 13 years old, a guy gave me this record of iluvatar and now that I'm 26 I remember when I heard it for the first time. I was crazy ... I also had the album where the exodus song comes out. I like this children's album. how could I haha ​​on the cover "almost identical" ahun I have it jajajaj is not compared to the original ....

[@ricbonnici4878]

This sounds so 1980s i love it

[@prosoloist]

written in the 80's. 1987, I think. Maybe '89. Pretty sure it's noted in the CD booklet. Basement recordings of this were done in 1991. EDIT - Seems I may be memory challenged on my statement ;). Maybe I'm mixed up with some of the songs from the debut album.

[@Proguli]

@@prosoloist Revealed this band last week and bought almost all CDs (VERY hard to get these days). Inlet of the Children album says: "Late of Consistence" and "Your darkest hour" written and arranged 1992. Album was recorded and mixed Feb - Mar 1995 at Secret Sound Studios, Baltimore.

[@prosoloist]

@@Proguli interesting. I was going by memory. I will have to check my records on this. Maybe I'm mixed up with some of the songs from the debut album. Exodus is from '87 for sure. I keep saying that I am going to upload a Basement recording of that one that was done in the late 80's prior to Glenn, Dennis or Mickey coming into the fold. Had a sax player come in and do some nice work on it. One of these days.... Oh yeah, Marionette is from '80s as well. Again, prior to Glenn, Dennis or Mickey coming into the fold.

[@prosoloist]

@@Proguli I looked at the booklet just now and it's a little messed up with that 1992 bit. If you look at the lyrics you will see at the end there's a name and year. The names there were for the lyrical credit. For Late Of Conscience it says Kraus '88. That is correct, not the '92 mention. Eye Next and Darkest say '90 and I could believe that. Also of interesting note is IN OUR LIVES says McLaughlin '95. That's not accurate either. It's from a few years earlier and Kraus wrote the meat of the lyrics and McL contributed. But when McL mentioned that later , Kraus said no, so McL was credited ;). Details, details

[@Proguli]

@@prosoloist Wow. Didn't see that Kraus '88 thing. Thanks for mentioning it. Maybe we should ask Jim Rezek... :-)

Pendragon - Breaking The Spell

[@tristanyoung3632]

Also an amazing song ^^

[@prosoloist]

loves me some Pendragon. While interesting that Breaking The Spell was on an album that was released in 1993 while this track, Late Of Conscience was released in 1995, the iluvatar track was actually written prior to 1990. There are LIVE recordings of Late Of Conscience prior to '93.

Now that you mention it, yea I can hear the Eloy influence 😁

@@tristanyoung3632 To me they are influenced by lot of bands. Marillion, IQ, Camel, Arena, Genesis, Mystery (Singer sounds like former singer Benoît David a bit), Eloy and many others. JUST GREAT STUFF.

give it up for prog metal having THE WEIRDEST album covers! i go to a university and the fine arts department tries to make stuff this artsy but they all listen neon trees and shit. GIVE PROGGRESIVE metal a chance and your work will look truely epic.
