	I’m scared to pick just one track. This album is something special, definitely my favourite Renaissance album. I may just say Black Flame. What a BRILLIANT album.

	The problem I have with Renaissance is they let some of their songs run a little too long and they become a bit repetitive. Black Flame doesn't have that problem - it's brilliant all the way through which is why I voted for it. Edited by iluvmarillion - February 07 2018 at 20:20

	Have to admit, I haven´t yet listened this album (listened first album, Illusion, Prologue and Ashes are Burning). Have to listen this today.

	This is really great album! I think all the songs are just great, when listening few hours ago I just wondering how they could have so much so great melodies, how the whole album is just so great when it´s very rare in today´s albums that the whole album is like this! Really hard to pick one, but when Cold is Being started, I knew it´s going to be my choise. I have always loved that Alibinoni-piece, I haven´t got no idea Renaissance had made version of it. When I heard Annie singing it, shivers ran all over me. It´s has been quite rare recent years I had this quite spiritual experience with a great music. Thanx a lot this thread, this album really made my day!

	Mother Russia is so monumental that I can only vote for it, though the other two tracks on side 2 are both great

	The only albums I've heard from this band are this and Ashes are Burning(love Carpet of the Sun). The song that I remember most from this one is Things I Don't Understand, so I voted for it. Like her voice a lot, I should start getting back into them.
