Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Rising Force, 1984, Polydor Holland, 825 324 1
"Icarus' Dream Suite Opus 4" (B1): the heirs of Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671-1751) were very proudly obliged for the generous royalities they awarded in 1984 from maestro Malmsteen for his elaborate upgrading of Albinonis "Adagio".
Joke aside, in fact there's not any faint note of credit on this album of furious etudes. Poor....
(btw Albinoni died under humble circumstances)

The Intro of "Dreams Of Heaven" by Progrock group "Flash" B1.
Where did "Flash" borrow the idea for that kind of noisy intro like that?
Tip: Engineer was Martin Birch

B1 "Beware The Ides Of March" is an (admittedly) neatly made version of "Whiter Shade of Pale" aka Air from Suite No.3 in D-Dur by Sebastian Bach. Funny, how Dick Heckstall-Smith tries to create variations with much impudence and some kind of humor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSBzLC_ctjU
Trotzdem: diese LP ist ein Meilenstein des Jazz-Rock!
