  • The only relation between this song, and the cover of Draconian, is the lyrics .. What the hell are y'all talking about? Fools Compare.

  • The draconian version is impossible to listen to.

  • @Fuegotiger2 i have the exact opposite opinion, lol! this is just too... tooo idk it assaults my ears with its funky weirdness... idk...

  • I like Draconian's version better.

  • 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 ;).

  • Sorry. I adore Rachmaninov and Classical Music but I found this song-piece ridiculus.

  • Special plate

    age 21 and so

    I also came to Bach!

  • On Sunday they will kill Rachmaninoff's prelude.

  • Fucking hell. Rachmaninoff would be spinning in his grave if he heard this.

  • @Franciscanplaypiano

    Probably not, and at least its not in a rap song.

  • this version is way better then draconians and im a metal guy

  • i love this song

  • 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.

  • stupid. an abomination of the perfect prelude- rachmaninoff

  • why does noone like the original rachmanninov version?

    this and the draconian song are crap compared to that.

  • Very much prefer Ekseption version.

  • I like this song... And Dragonian's view is good too...

  • What an abominable destruction of a truly amazing piece. Absolutely evil.

  • This sounds funny to me after listening to draconians so long, I prefer draconians but I like them both

  • Yea I prefer Draconian too

  • Definately. Draconian did an amazing job.

  • sounds kinda funny xD

    but I like the Draconian version better, but thats because I love grunts and heavy riffs...

  • lol its RACHMANNINOFF op3 prelude in C# minor!

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

  • 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.

  • i like both versions, credit to ekseption for making but draconian did an amazing cover. You can't deny that =/

  • 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.

  • both songs are godo in their own way

    im a metal fan myself. but this version sounds good

  • Seriously okay, Ekseption rocks this song, though I do like Draconian too, I just don't like that they remade this one :D

  • bloodflower14 you kiddie. (pat)

  • DRACONIAN is better...1000000000000000 times....

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • 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 !

  • Sounds like Chicago doing a barber shop quartet syle death song lol. I kind of like it. :)

  • You are right . Both are good . But Ekseption was the first song . The first song is often the best .

  • this shouldnt be compared to the draconian one as "this is better". both are great, and have a different feel to them.

  • the one by draconian is way better

  • its true, but this came first right?

  • ya this did come first

  • well, Ekseption was first, but they killed Rachmaninoff's prelude, though draconian in my opinion made something in the spirit of the prelude

  • You're right, mathaius833, the Draconian version is much better.

  • Fashoooo.

  • 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.

  • couldn't have said it better

  • uh this is the original masterpiece. the draconian one sucks ass. really

  • 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

  • Dude you are a moron, the end.

  • thank you very much! kind sir/ma'am :D

  • Hey , I found this piece .
