Riverside - Second life syndrome (full song)

[@OurLighthouseMusic]

This is pure genius, such diversity in one track, yet a whole. This is one of the best pieces ever, in my honest opinion.

[@MrHistorian123]

I agree. It's one of the very finest pieces of progressive rock ever recorded They're all consummate musicians of the highest order, but I feel that Piotr Kozieradzki's superb drumming often gets ignored. He really is a brilliant player who complements the others to perfection.

[@tomschmidt4355]

Total agree! It's to mention in one line with the greatest long-tracks of the progressive 70ies, like Awaken, July Morning, Child in time, Epitaph, Fools Overture and so far the best progressive song of the current century.

Yes a true masterpiece. It should be put ahead of Pink Floyd.

[@trijitchatterjee7579]

This is one of the most underrated prog Rock track of all time. This is just pure genius. Best Riverside track hands down.

[@tomschmidt4355]

The main-problem is that it is not really underrated, but the whole band ist still underknown.

Mamma mia che pezzo ragazzi....un crescendo continuo. Ogni cambio di tempo, di melodia è una sorpresa, ogni volta che lo ascolto. Un gruppo davvero fuori dal comune, bravissimi anche dal vivo, ho avuto la fortuna di assistere a due concerti appena fuori Milano. Grazie Riverside.

[@karl-heinzvanhall1233]

4 excellent musicians in perfect harmony. One of the best bands!

[@ernestomartinez4090]

From 12:40 til the end I always pictured Piotr ascending to heavens playing that guitar and being received as the genius he was. And then I can't hold back the tears.

[@tomschmidt4355]

That's what I feel too. I had the great fortune to see Riverside live at Loreley some years before he died. His emotional Play and his modest behaviour on stage made him an extraordinary Person in the scene and one of the most sympathic Musicians, I've ever seen. Wonderful, that the live version from DVD "Reality Dream" is also uploaded here. Get wet eyes again.
