Somebody asked...

...which specifc songs were working for me from the albums I listed in an earlier post. 
I realize it's popular these days to pick one or two favorite songs from an album and listen to those, sort of discarding the rest.  In general, I don't like to experience my music that way.  Call me "old school", but I still like to think of an album as just that, an album.  Put another way, I rarely hit the "skip" button when listening to music, whether it's a cd (or the iPod) in the car, or the iPod/laptop at work.
But oddly enough, I will go the other direction however, and hit "repeat" for a really good song, when I come across one.  The following tunes definitely warrant the occasional "repeat"!

“Untouchable, Part 1” and “The Lost Child” – Anathema, Weather Systems
“The Sheltering Sky” (Alternate Mix by Steven Wilson) – King Crimson, Discipline (40th Anniversary Edition)
“Unfamiliar” and “Trail of Fire” – Oceansize, Frames
 “Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts I – V) – Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
“Anesthetize” and “Sentimental” – Porcupine Tree, Fear of a Blank Planet
“Prodigal” – Porcupine Tree, In Absentia
“Halo Effect” and “Headlong Flight” – Rush, Clockwork Angels
 “Red Barchetta” – Rush, Moving Pictures
“Parabola” and “Reflection” – Tool, Lateralus
