Starless, but I do like The Sheltering Sky, the best track on the Discilpline album.

Not a huge fan of either of them, but I'll go with Sheltering Sky.

Both. I wish that I could have seen KC play Starless live though. I like both equally. I like the live version of Sheltering Sky as well. It appears that Bobby Fripp might be enjoying himself.

Well said.  There is nothing quite like it.  As I understand it, the term comes from Saharan Africa, but we have to acknowledge that it is the same sky that shelters those of us on other continents as well.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

I like Discipline more than Red.
But Starless if my favorite track off of Red and Sheltering Sky one of my least favorite on Discipline.

My vote goes to Starless.

Starless of course, but I absolutely love the exotic and psychedelic atmosphere within The Sheltering Sky. Whenever I listen to that tune, it always paints a mental picture of African bush land on a hot sunset evening. Cool

Don't care. I don't know a whole lot of tracks that can take me to another place, tracks like "The Sheltering Sky". "Starless" is two-faced in a way that it is gentle and aggressive, but overall very dramatic, but the other track ... it's just much deeper than that. It's one of those tracks that makes me think about life differently.
