Luminol

Luminol, a song by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame, performed live in Mexico City. 12 minutes long and worth every minute.
While I prefer Steven Wilson when he's more focused/ concise, this has a lot of nice moments. I especially like the ring-modulated keyboard.

Just in case you think this rock is progressive.
This strikes me as a weird and passive-aggressive first comment to make in a thread.

I never heard of this before and I loved it. Thanks for the link.

Against prog rock, even the punks raged in vain.
Love it.

Why can't it be progressive? Or do you mean "first."

Thanks for this. PT's In Absentia and Deadwing are both very accessible, yet deep albums.

The entire DVD is one peak after another, the sound quality is astonishing.

QFT. The prog rock organ of my musical brain was weened on these albums. Also give a listen to Nil Recurring EP, Fear Of A Blank Planet, and Stupid Dream, which complete the more comprehensible half of their oeuvre. For kicks, check out their debut ironic album, Tarquin's Seaweed Farm, which contains these gems.
Luminol is beautiful and stimulating but I prefer Wilson when he's constrained by PT and Gavin's rolling licks. Sadly, their days may be over. Wilson has been ambiguous, even disinterested, regarding future collaboration.

I prefer In Absentia to Deadwing, but it was interesting seeing the evolution of PT when Wilson discovered metal (and this Wilson-produced Opeth album as the other side of the coin).

Color me underwhelmed.
Some of you might want to check out Volker Kriegel's Castel Fiora instead.
A 13+ minutes piece, that's seriously whole and round, al fine.
