***** Rhythm of Time by Jordan Rudess – Video Game Style Prog that Rocks!


I have a friend that whenever he hears this album says that it sounds exactly like video game music.  He may be right, but I have to say I have logged more hours listening in enjoyment to Rhythm of Time than I have for any video game.  Unfortunately, I wish I could say that I am hugely into video games, but the fact is that I am not.  I haven’t had a video game machine since the original Nintendo.  I have played a few games here and there, so I am familiar with some of the soundtracks to the major games, and let me tell you, I would pick listening to this album any day rather than listening to video games.  My feeling is that the reason this is so is because it takes a special person to be one that is able to dig the complexities in this music, and see that this stuff is far better than any game I know of.
