I'll have to go with the sensational opener - 'Trip To The Fair'. But the entire album is delicious as they come.

Hard not to give it to Scheherazade, but the whole album is amazing!

Well, the whole album is sublime! It was one of the very first prog albums I bought, and had no idea what to expect. But I'm going to vote for the `underdog' here, `The Vulture Flies High' is kind of a terrific classy pop track!

Title track, easily. Though I do feel it's a bit overlong and looses a bit of continuity on the way.

Me: A tie between the first and the last tracks. The 25-minute wonder may have been stretched too far, but damn, it's got "The Young Prince And Princess As Told By Scheherazade". However, "Trip To The Fair" does not have a single moment that loses me, not even in the slightest; gotta listen to the whole thing as it flows so perfectly.
Ah, screw it. Not gonna choose. No vote!

I'm going to go against the grain and vote "Vultures". I must say, the lyrics can really speak to me at times when I find some vultures of my own hovering above me.

They left to hang out with Steven Wilson. I only have the album in the form of a two disc compilation but everything from the album was in included. Prime Renaissance to be sure. I went for Vultures.

Trip to the fair easily, one of my favourite Renaissance tracks. The epic is my least favourite on a strong album.

I voted for "Song Of Scheherazade" but "Ocean Gypsy" is a very close second.

Ocean Gypsy is my fave, but the epic title track is quite good too.

Close between the first two.
I'll give a pity vote to the Vultures.
