Spock’s Beard – Wind at my Back
18th September, 2007 by Chewbacca
Well known both by fans of progressive rock and Star Trek fans alike, Spock’s Beard is a powerhouse of good music. Although the band has had a number of albums, my favourite has to be the 2002 "Snow" – a double-CD concept album (described by some as a prog rock opera) about an albino psychic who gains himself a messianic following and then loses it all. Despite being a grand feat in production, the music and storyline come together so well. This is the last track of the first CD (and the second too, incidentally) which is quite a motivational, powerful track worthy of recognition. After the album, frontman Neal Morse left the band due to his recent finding of Christianity, and left the band in the hands of his brother, Alan. The later albums are good, but so far nothing has quite topped this. Here is today’s track by Spock’s Beard, "Wind at my Back":
i absolutely love this song! Even though its slightly different to the one i have?!
