I put these up side by side as two heavier pieces. Which do you prefer? ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

I'll go for Back in NYC, but love Clocks. Tough choice. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| Surprisingly tough choice; I recall Gabriel's first tour 40 years ago - this was the only Genesis song he played. When people shouted for 'The Knife' a la Genesis Live, I remember verbatim his response, 'in these modern times, who is interested in ancient history?' |

Hackett. Borrow a 10k turntable/arm/cartridge and a decent amp/speakers. Put a vinyl copy of Clocks/Angel of Mons on and turn the volume up LOUD. Then you'll understand. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| Hard choice indeed. I will have to think very hard before I can vote. |

I don't have THAT but I decided to listen to Clocks anyway before voting. Yup, it's super-heavy. Very powerful instrumental even if it sets the tone for Hackett's future KC imitations. Back in NYC is very funky and all but voting for Clocks.

Two great tracks but once again Hackett gets the vote. Clocks, Angel of Mons is one of the tracks that defines Spectral Mornings. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Clocks for sure. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I do and the Hackett track is one of the very best tests of a hifi imaginable. It's not music: it's an aural overdose. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Spectral Mornings is seriously overrated. I usually only reach for the first two when needing a Hackett fix. NYC - hands down.

I was playing Back in NYC in the car the other day and my girlfriend asked "What the hell is he shouting about? I can barely make out a single word, apart from 'sh*t'"  ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
