I'm not understanding the "epic start" reference. Is "Parti" the first album published by Epic Records? Even if there is a departure in an epic, the epic typically begins in the middle, not the start. An exception would be "The Divine Comedy". Or does it refer to the animated movie "Epic" which does begin with a departure? "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" might be called epics but again, they are atypical.
Or is "Parti Quebecois" an epic? :-)
