@toymachinethunder - It's a harpsichord - It's like a piano only it plucks the string when a key is pressed. A piano strikes the string. See Wikipedia. Too bad the digital age can't duplicate (reproduce) what these guys did on vinyl.
Such a great album and one filled with wonderful songs written by so many talented singers all held together with Curt Boettcher's amazing arrangements!
@ColossusOfRhodes- Nobody (DJ) has a song called "wake up and smell the millenium" which is basically an awesome sample of Prelude... That was the first place I heard this.
Not a skip, I think. It was probably separated into two tracks when ripped from CD, a slight pause when joining them is all. It transitions smoothly on vinyl, as long as there are no scratches there; it probably does on the CD too, but I can't say for certain, I only have it on vinyl.
does anyone know the instrument used in the very beginning? sounds like a stringed instrument.

The album was the second ever recorded on 16 track. (essentially two 8 tracks synched together). The aural kaleidascope really shines on this album.

Amazing...I've seen this record in the shops for a while and was unsure about whether to purchase it. Now I'm quite sure I will!

This is such a beautiful album. Prelude/TCoT is one of the best openings to an album EVER.
