	Voted for "I See You". Maybe he wanted Gong to carry on after his death (And indeed their still touring) but somehow, I just don't think it'll be the same. Well it won't be! Now only Robert Wyatt and Mike Ratledge are the only survivors from the original Soft Machine line up.

	I like both considerably, but Elevenses for me.

	^ Honestly, to me it sounds like a GonG album (with just a slight less bit of whimsy and no pot head pixie talk, of course).
