Fracture vs Starless

"Fracture". Love the guitar. The band is freaking out on full throttle, just hauling a$%! Grizzly, brutal, ... . I can actually feel the music pulsating. "Starless" isn't actually that close, but still a classic.

	Fracture to me is one of the few songs that can get close to the experience of Starless, especially the USA version of Fracture. All that tension, and the way release it in the end. But in Starless the tension-building and release was even greater, creating what is the most complete feeling I know. After a proper Red finishes with Starless, I almost feel like I could die happy.

	Just listened to "Fracture" for the first time so I could vote in this poll. It's nice (I love the riffs), but "Starless" is simply the most stunning piece of music I've ever heard, by any band. That soprano sax at the end always sends chills down my spine, and Fripp's "solo" in the middle section is just amazing. No contest for me.

	Starless is pretty good-4 stars Fracture is ok-3 stars Fracture starts off well but gets boring from the 2nd half onwards
