Five Suns. I find that and Black Oni to be flawless.

Elixirs is great too, but I'd rather the instumental versions of The Heliotrope and The Selenotrope (from the  Twisted Stems EP) was on album instead of the ones with vocal.

	The whole trilogy is excellent, but Black Oni is my overall favorite. I especially like it's apocalyptic post-Zeuhl sound, and the dark overall atmosphere of the album.

	In my opinion, the "Black Suns" album bears the most accomplished sets of tense passages and eerie moments, while being equally sinister to the other two. In this way, the variety of moods happens to be more robust. Kind regards.

	Tougher than a particularly tough tough thing, but I think 5 Suns just about comes in 1st for me - Black Oni is more compositionally sophisticated and Elixirs opens up and explores the possibilites suggested by the previous 2 albums in a remarkable way, but nothing quite matches the raw excitement of 5 Suns in all its savage glory.
