This is hard. Can't bring myself to vote against either Running Hard or Mother Russia. Both of these are so good that it'd be criminal to only vote for one of them. OK I give it to Running Hard because Mother Russia has already so many votes, but really both of these are the kind of 100% music that when you listen to them there's nothing else in the world.

Speaking of Running Hard, here's a great, great performance of the song. Played quite a bit faster than the studio cut seemingly. Annie's C6 in the vocalise makes the jaw drop.

^^^ Yup. Would add Ashes Are Burning to that list. All three driven in equal parts by Annie and Tout and no orchestra. Love Tout's variations on that performance of Things I Don't Understand.

An excellent album. The second side is practically flawless, but Cold is Being is simply one of the most incredible things I've heard. Annie Haslam's voice is just wonderful. A pity the lyrics are so depressing!
Running Hard, Black Flame and Mother Russia are also marvellous.

Agree. Except I don't find the lyrics to Cold is Being depressing. I would have found uplifting lyrics set to a funeral tune depressing though. Mother Russia is the grandest of them all - so I voted for it.
I am one of the very few people who voted (or will vote) for Cold is Being... Allbinonni's Adagio in G Minor is a fantastic piece of work, not to mention the heavenly voice of Annie Haslam...
