An easy, although slighlty patriotic, vote for Elephant9. Prefer their debut to Walk the Nile, but Unfolded Like Staircase did nothing for me, so...

^ as much as I love Discipline.. this wouldn't have been the album I'd have picked.  To Shatter All Accord is a top 20 modern fav and would have got the vote.. but this is the one fans love and wanted for the contest ... so I went with it.

Likely to... ah f**k it.. I loved that elephant9 album.. no need to sit on this one.

Yes yes yes!!! This is my fave tune of theirs.
My vote also went their way even if I really dig that Discipline album. I think I overdosed on it a couple of years ago. The only one I return to is 'Into the Dream'.

My favourite's "I Cover the Mountain Top", off their debut, but, yeah, that one's high up on my list of Elephant9 tracks as well.

I'll probably surprise a couple people here - but i voted Discipline. It's is actually one of the few Symph records i like. Canto (In Limbo) is fantastic really. 

Elephant 9 i loveeee, but i prefer Walk the Nile more so i decided to go with the minority here.

 E9 but not with an awful lot of enthusiasm.

The second round is interesting in that now we are often being asked to vote for albums we may well have voted against in the preliminaries. Me, I cannot remember whether I voted for either of these back then but I am guessing not.

Like Discipline a lot, on of the few modern Symph bands I connect with but elephant9 are a wonderfully heavy jazz fusion monster, love this album.

yep... though I likely would have voted for the To Shatter All Accord album over the E9 album.  This album though good, wasn't great IMO like that one was.
