Acolyte . Perhaps one track (The Hermit) short of being an absolute masterpiece (?) I struggle with Ant's album for some reason. I've got a CD version of it somewhere but I can stream it no doubt. Need to give it another chance.

The Geese and The Ghost. I love Acolyte but GASG has magic in it!

I like both, but without any doubt Voyage of the Acolyte - Steve Hackett.

Regarding The Shadow of The Hierophant, my preferred version is the full 17 minute version (featured on some rereleases) - which is basically five minutes more of that fabulous end-crescendo. That ending stands out in the history of recorded music as one of the most wonderful crecendos. 
Yeah I feel a bit the same. There are better other versions of Shadow of The Hierophant than the officially released version. However even without Shadow, Voyage is a better album album than Geese and that's not putting down Geese.

Too close to call, but Shadow of the Heirophant gives Steve Hackett the edge, if I'm being a sycophant.

Hackett easily. Voyage of the Acolyte against Wise after the Event would be way harder for me.

Phil Collins is brilliant on both albums, but no one ever mentions that.

I'll give the nod to Voyage, though I love both, and The Geese and the Ghost is something special and beautiful. As for Shadow of the Hierophant, I think it's perfectly wonderful, and my favourite song on both albums... actually, my favourite from Hackett.

I prefer Hackett and it's an album that's stuffed with mellotron. Not much on Ant's but it's still close for me as both are 5 star albums.

Honestly, I cannot choose. Both are wonderful albums, and I enjoy listening to them all the time.

It's 'Acolyte as 'Ghost is a little too sedate for my liking.
