I love the layout and different sections of Can You Understand? more. I'll vote for that one. Mother Russia's really good too.

Both, that's all.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Can You Understand has a more interesting atmosphere, just my feelings.

Indeed, 2 superb tracks. Mother Russia has been my favourite Renaissance piece since I discovered the band in the late-80's.........

What?!!Angry That's incredible!
Yeah, I think it's rather flattering that an excerpt from a prog piece was used in somebody else's work.

Can You Understand might be my favorite Renaissance track, and Mother Russia is not, so.

"Can You Understand?". Grand, rich, and intense. The melodies on "Mother Russia" are so boring.

I love both, but Mother Russia is a true classic.
