Bah, Mind Drive is perfect. The best part is the first 3 and last 3 minutes. As for Tales, I wouldn't touch "Ritual" or "The Ancient." "The Revealing.." is the one I think Rick Wakeman is referring to when he said parts of Tales were padded and "bled to death." IT maybe could've been an excellent 12-15 mintue piece, rather than a good 20 minutes. I can't make up my mind on "The Remembering." It's a tad repetitive, but if you really analyze the chordal structure and progression, they're slowly building tension to the "Surely, Surely, Ah AH!" moment, so it's not really "edit-able."
