Need Info. about A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres!

Post by sgatedrummer21892 »

On A Farewell to Kings, Is it just "Cygnus X-1"? or is it, "Cygnus X-1 Book 1: The Voyage?

Also, On Hemispheres, is the title track just Hemispheres? Or is it "Cygnus X-1 Book 2: Prelude/Apollo Bringer of Wisdom/Dionysus Bringer of Love/Armageddon The Battle of Heart and Mind/Cygnus Bringer of Balance/The Sphere A Kind of Dream? iTunes is confusing me, some help with what these songs are really called would help.

Last thing. La Villa Strangiato, does it really have 12 parts? If so, what are the 12 parts?
