Seems they made a lot of good songs, sure sometimes the lyrics can be a bit weird but their music is satisfying to listen to.

They've done some really good stuff. Saw them in concert in the late 80's (I think). It was along time ago. :)

They're great. Eye in the Sky is an excellent album. I still find it funny that their most famous song is an instrumental that I imagine most people do not know was done by APP:

"And now....your Chicago Bulls starting lineup!"

I'm a little confused here. Are you saying the instrumental Sirius was their most famous song?? Sirius is an instrumental that leads into their most famous song. Sirius may or not be played beforehand on the radio. Their most famous song was most certainly Eye in the Sky. Yes, Sirius is used by the Chicago Bulls, and many people probably don't know it's origin. But I'd say worldwide, Eye in the Sky was/is their best known work.

Mammagamma sounds like a fast train cruising along a riverbank and going through occasional tunnels.



And I can see a movie about a knight to Ace of Swords
