5.0 out of 5 stars Ekseption on cd-AT LAST!!!!, August 2, 2000

I grew up on this stuff!!Unfortunately it wasnt availabale on cd until recently.If you like progressive music with a classical influence then this is the cd you've been looking for.With 33 tracks on two discs,terrific sound quality and expansive selection of material from "Peace Planet" to the "Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor" and Beethoven's symphony #5(affectionately Known as "the Fifth")make this a must have in your collection,even if your not already a fan.This music has a very "live" feeling to it even though all tracks are studio recordings (due to ambient microphone techniques,something lacking miserably in todays music!).In short,this stuff cooks! I've waited a lifetime for this,order it now and you can here what I'm talking about within a week or so.Fabulous,I want all their albums re-issued!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best collections, and the first serious one., December 15, 2001

This review is from: Selected Ekseption (Audio CD)

This title was the first CD collection ever to really represent both sides of Ekseption: their pop/jazz reworkings of classical themes as well as their own compositions which after all _were_ roughly half of their output. Songs are mainly from '69-'73, the Rick van der Linden period, but also present are 5 songs from the '76 album "Back to the Classics", made by what must be called an ad hoc band, as only two of the players had been member of Ekseption at one point.
This collection is not to be missed by any Ekseption fan, and is also a great introduction for anyone with an interest in the hit side of Ekseption. Adding to this: "Selected Ekseption" is the best sounding Ekseption ever, CD or LP (and I virtually drown in different releases). Beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars The dutch style of classic-rock, July 31, 2000

I knew Ekseption when I was in my elementary school. The group guided me to enjoy further: classical music.
