Pick one!

My choice is Prelude.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Definitely Prelude. I'm generally not a fan of Bruford's admirable restraint. :p

I have always really loved Trio, although Prelude is beautiful too.

Trio, because it was created on the spot, out of thin air

From my reviews on Starless and Island



"Trio (5:41) ", instrumental, recorded live at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, begins too soft, the first two minutes are almost in the background but the melody is beautiful, melancholy and poignant, almost medieval, thanks to a great work by Cross and an instrument that I can not identify. It's the symphonic track of the Lp. Rating 7,5/8.

It follows an instrumental symphonic piece ("Song of the Gulls", vote 7,5), almost angelic, which breaks the homogeneity of the album, but arrived at this point, perhaps it is good. Fripp inserts an atmosphere worthy of Bach, almost eighteenth century, as if to recover the melody so far lost. The piece with the oboes 
(Robin Miller) is particularly beautiful. Rating 7,5.


Trio is a little better, imho.

Nice poll! I think these two albums are the ones of KC I listen to the least, and these two tracks were really neglected, but they are beautiful! Prelude just wins it.
