La Villa Strangiato (An Exercise in Self-Indulgence)

La Villa Strangiato was the band's first full song instrumental. It has stood the test of time, and has been played for most of the live concerts that the band has done. This mini epic instrumental was inspired by a dream Lifeson once had, and the musical parts represent the fragments of his dream.
