Thread Name: Origin: Fall of the House of Usher (Alan Parsons)
Subject: RE: Help: Classical gtr: 'Fall of House of Usher'
My vote would also be for Alan Parsons Project

Fall of the House of Usher first appeared on a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe called "Tales of mystery and Imagination" The piece was 15 minutes long an consisted of 5 movements

(i) Prelude
(ii)Arrival
(iii)Intermezzo(iv)Pavane(v)Fall

The first time I heard it and every time thereafter it sent chills up my spine.

Truly Poe put to music.
