my favorite prog album and possibly my favorite album overall.
one of the highlights for me is around the 14:45m mark of "close to the edge" with the incredible organ solo by wakeman which is complemented brilliantly with the guitar + bass. also, around 6:15m of "and you and i" when the acoustic guitar suddenly intervenes. this moment never fails to put a smile on my face(and depending on my level on introspection, brings tears). "siberian khatru" is certainly the most accessible track on the album and the highlight for me is the keyboard solo that pomegrant noted(around the 3m mark).
PS: has anyone ever found a flac copy of this?
