That is probably the most expressive playing I've ever heard coming from an 8-string guitar. Most of the time, it's just these hacks playing these atonal, start/stop riffs on the low F# string that sound like dinosaur farts. In this case, Rob's playing is very melodic, and the bass strings just accent that instead of being the main focus, which sounds quite refreshing.

Prog is more than just nutty time signatures, do to longer songs and extended structures, it creates a world within the music (Gustav Mahler had a phrase for it but I forgot). The only genres that really pull it off are prog, Ambiant, classical (if it can suck you in), and psychedelic stuff. I think the repetitiveness of this keeps in from being really in the spirit of prog. Still a great song though

"In 1907, Mahler met Jean Sibelius, whose symphonies are the polar opposite of Mahler's: compressed, distilled, self-referential. The composers discussed the meaning of the symphony. Sibelius admired its "profound logic and inner connection". Mahler completely disagreed: "A symphony must be like the world," he said. "It must embrace everything." And Mahler really did turn that all-encompassing embrace into sound: in a piece like the Eighth Symphony, you hear the whole world, in a range of references from ancient hymns to Goethe's Faust, and in music that is the apotheosis of every large-scale musical form: symphony, oratorio, mass, even opera."

Ryan Sanders Also check out Bruckner - I especially love the 7th. My local composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams (who called Mahler "a tolerable imitation of a composer"!) was nothing short of a genius - but the biggest, grandest of the lot was by an amateur from the Midlands - Havergal Brian, whose Gothic Symphony has only been performed a handful of times - makes Mahler Eight look like a string quartet.
