brilliant cover from ekseption, the guys are geniuses in adopting classical pieces. draconian cover is also brilliant and of course the original piece is the best.
Both use C sharp, but you can still make a claim as to which one is better than the other. Draconian's is metal, this one is a bit more boring in my opinion.
I can say that Draconian's is better because that's where my musical tastes lie. Having been borrowed from C sharp has nothing to do with it.
It's too bad that's absolutely wrong. the 80's generally destroyed music with repetition of the same synth sound over and over again, then the hair metal came and stole a bunch of Russian and German Classical composer's work and did it with guitars.
My Gosh! You can't compare the GREAT Ekseption to a nowadays gothic band (Draconian or others). We have here to do with prog rock from the '70s. This is the story of music, men! And please notice that Ekseption were only one of many prog bands, and each of them had (has) an own "touch". Van der Graaf Generator for ex. were quite dark (in music + lyrics), Genesis had more complex music patterns (hear "Suppy's Ready"), Amazing Blondel was/is the most bucolic prog band, etc. No levelling like today
hmm every 1 has his own taste in music but for me draconian's is way better but that's because i already like metal music this one is not bad too but in compare it is !
Of course the one by draconian is way better. This is some progressive rock abomination which totally doesn't fit in the mood of the original masterpiece. Draconian's version actually has some kind of deep and sad mood to it which doesn't rape the original completely like this one does.
I agree all the up until masterpiece. It is the original, but its crap. You obviously have no taste in music so I don't even know why I am replying to you.
lol anyone can tune up the gitar hard enough to make it look like they can do something. draconian sucks ass really ekseption is the shit you need to listen to. brilliant musicianship brilliant keyboard and classic-minded. you my friend should be musically educated,YOU SUCK
Again misterFOOL509, key word FOOL, I don't know why I am replying but you obviously don't know a lot about Draconian they don't just crank up the guitar, they are an excellent band but from what I have heard of Ekseption I am not impressed.
no key word Mister but hey you know nothing about me. at least i can say I have a good musical taste. I heard a lot of draconian before I replied but you know what it all SUCKED
The only relation between this song, and the cover of Draconian, is the lyrics .. What the hell are y'all talking about? Fools Compare.

I only knew the Draconian version of this song until now. I have to say i really like the original song! Really cool & apocalyptic too!
But for me i prefer the Draconians version a lot more than this. But both songs are awesome ;).

Well, you can't say one is better than the other, because both are ripped off from Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor.

The Draconian remake is far superior to this. Decent music didn't really come till the 80's.
Cept maybe Led Zepplin. Thin Lizzy aren't too shabby either.
