What's your favortie part? I like the whole thing but particularly The Clot Thickens and Presence of the Night/Kosmos Tours and Custard's Last Stand, the ending is great as well  ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Tough one. I like the piece as a whole. but my soft spot is for the train effect in the middle of Pictures/Lighthouse part; so I voted for it. (it will probably remain the only vote anyway ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

I watched them playing it on youtube last night. Absolutely horrible. Where's the "none of them" button? |

| I listen to it in one piece, and love every part equally much. |

I find the opening "Still waiting for my saviour..." to be particularly haunting.  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

| I must say I've only ever played the whole song. I have absolutely no idea which bit is which. |

those parts do not stand alone so well. when together, they make a masterpiece |

I usually don't like it when people add more options than is necessary, its a straightfoward poll and doesn't require extra options. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I think the last section, Land's End/We Go Now is really legendary and chilling. -------------

I have to say Eyewitness, it sets the mood perfectly and is perfectly haunting. -------------

as a prog specialist, you surprised me.
Well, not everyone has to love VdGG, but it's probably because of VdGG's weakness on stage. They don't always kick *ss live. You should try the studio version (present both on Pawn Hearts album and The Box compilation in its entirety) ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

Hard to choose one, but it's a tie between "The Clot Thickens", "Kosmos Tours" and "Eyewithness" ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! http://www.last.fm/music/Exerior" rel="nofollow - EXERIOR Experimental tech/death/progmetal from Norway! |

Disagree completely. VDGG are as good live as anyone - and have always been. Their tour last year was fine.
Didn't realise there were any different `bits' to POLK ------------- I was there but not aware |
