Satori, thank you. I only chanced upon this album a few days ago. The recording quality is brilliant even if it is not high-res.
Been a Naim user for a year or so but only just started posting.
How does one include a link that includes a preview (such as the wikipedia link on your Gamma Ray post)?

Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy.
Often heavier than the power metal genre but equally as enjoyable from a progressive perspective with some choralesque elements
The Divine Wings of Tragedy is the third studio album by progressive metal band Symphony X, released in November 1996 through Zero Corporation (Japan) and March 1997 through Inside Out Music (Europe). A remastered edition was reissued on September 13, 2004 through Inside Out, and again in September 17, 2012 as part of a double-LP vinyl release.

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I.
@VinoVeritas This is one of my favourite Helloween albums (Part II is also notable). I think that some people do not realise that the album art is often inspired by fantasy (not Satanic worship) and they could be construed as missing out on some marvelous guitar work (drums included of course)
Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I is the second studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1987. It marks the first appearance of vocalist Michael Kiske, and is considered the album that created the genre of European-style power metal.
Kai Hansen stepped away from doing vocal duties as he had difficulties singing and playing the guitar at the same time during the previous tour. It was an album dominated by Hansen, due to illness of co-guitarist Michael Weikath which prevent...
