Still Life gets the nod.

Interview > Still Life. I think VDGG lost some of the heavier bombastic feel after Godbluff that I like so much in their music. Interview is a little underrated. I even own it on vinyl and prefer it to Freehand.

I only know four of these albums well: Interview, Music from the Penguin Cafe, Still Life and World Record. While I appreciate all four, ultimately I am going with Music from the Penguin Cafe over Still Life.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
