Anyone who's a fan of Fates Warning will dig their two-disc live album, "Still Life". It's got a great live sound mix (it almost sounds like a studio record) and it runs the gamut of the band's whole career. Disc 2 is defintely the stronger disc in the set. It covers the whole "Ivory Gate of Dreams" suite and then a bunch of classic Fates cuts that we all know and love like "Point of View", "At Fate's Hands", and "We Only Say Goodbye". Disc 1, which covers the entire "A Pleasant Shade of Gray" opus, is also nicely done, even for folks like me who were never big fans of APSOG. All in all, this is a great live album from a great studio band. You don't see that every day, but you get that here with Fates Warning's "Still Life"! Pick it up!
This is a double CD release, and it's awesome. The first CD is the entire epic "A Pleasant Shade Of Gray", in all of its glory. It's broken up into 12 tracks, so you can skip around if there are some parts you don't care for. The 2nd CD is the jewel, IMO. A live version of the 21-minute epic "Ivory Gate of Dreams" from the 1988 album, No Exit. My favorite here is "Monument", which shows drummer Mark Zonder's otherwordly abilities. Also, "At Fates Hands" and "Point of View" sound awesome. If you're a Fates fan, or a fan of prog-metal, you need to get this.
First time I have heard this band, very good progressive rock. Very oringinal and interesting music. Will definatly check out other CD's of theirs.
This CD is surprisingly good! If you’re a Fates fan you don’t have a huge selection of live recorded music so if you can pick it up for cheap like I did do it!
Great live rendition of killer FW songs. Great to buy, especially at the low prices you can find on eBay.
