Pretty good matchup, the two tracks do share plenty of qualities. I voted for Giant. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

A good matchup indeed. I usually vote in favour of GG, but here I have to vote for KC. I love the acoustic guitar in Cirkus. -------------

Ah yeah, I always get it mixed up with the Advent of Panurge. So replace what I said with Advent and it still holds true.

Pantagruel's Nativity easily, though I love King Crimson, Lizard is one of the few albums I could NEVER get into (along with Islands), to the point where I sold both. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

I loved it back when he was small and yellow. So easy to travel with, he could fit in the palm of your hand, and he'd love to finish your crumbs after cake eating and other such frivolous back stage antics. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Cirkus is one of my fave Crimso songs...what am I saying, it's one of my favorite songs period! Pantagruel's a great song too but Cirkus is just so heavy and dark it's amazing. There's an unbelievable live version of Cirkus on the King Crimson Collector's Club Live in Detroit, 1972 2 CD set. They slow the song tempo way down and it just makes it seem even more menacing than usual...amazing song. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

KC may be my favorite prog band of all time......so I had to go with Circus, but ATT by GG is my favorite lp by them but I don't think it's easy to compre certain tracks with others like that. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |
