Triskaidekophobie by the narrowest of margins. Promenade au Fond d'un Canal is my favourite track off these two classic albums (and they go together to make a stunningly good single CD).

Triskaidekaphobie narrowly - Promenade and Quatre-Vingt Douze are just too brilliant.

I prefer Triskaidekaphobie myself, mostly because of Promenade which is probably Present's best and most representative track. I also like it's more horror movie attitude compared to Le Poison.. though it's a VERY close race overall!

Thirded... don't see the need to choose though, I'm so used to listening to them as one album... i don't even think i've ever listened to them separatelyLOL

The fact that both of these are on 1 CD, that can be purchased inexpensively, makes getting this the biggest no-brainer ever.
