hmm I think the greatest intro to any album i've ever heard is the one PM Dawn did on Jesus Wept..


wow.. thats an incredible way to start an album


what about "i'd die without you"? that piano riff is a real tear jerker.kinda makes me think of a light rain on an overcast day...

Dang , these R good thumbs up!


Funny , i was planning about to mention another one from Narada earlier .
Not such a familiar one but nevertheless a strong statement .
It's from his " Devine Emotions " album :

" We Still Have A Dream " starts with the legendary speech of
Martin Luther King at the Million March ..... while he speaks
one can hear a film-like orchestration under it .... aw , just chillz the skin man ,
and then ... a booming blast of drums & horns introducing the funk .
.
