Which song of this cerene albums which from the album cover might be about that, serenity and oddness. Displacement in society and nature. What does a grand piano on a snowy mountain even mean. If 'Crisis? What Crisis' sybolises pollution and ignorance; 'Even in the Quietest Moments' is about serenity and displacement. -------------

Fool's Overture. Babaji is a close second.

Title track needs some love. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Great album--all songs were great in concert--but "Downstream" has this transcendent beauty that haunts me like few other songs--prog or otherwise. Plus, I can never get enough of those major seventh chords (as S-tramp used a lot of). ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Isn’t this the 17th poll on this album ?? Anyway, it’s always a tough choice between the absolutely beautiful Downstream, and the epic Fool’s Overture, and I can’t choose. I just can’t. |

Fools Overture. The title track and Give a little bit are also excellent tunes. Overall though this album is not a patch on COTC or BIA. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Give a Little Bit is a timeless classic and which never lets one down. I envision cartoon bears when i hear it. The song is magical. -------------

My personal favourite is their debut album. Every single track is special, even the Surely parts. |

Hmmm. I like "Give a Little Bit" a lot (although couldn't vote it against Fool's Overture), but It's Raining Again is outright dreadful. Surely they're not on the same level (I'd be curious though whether it's just plain subjectivity or whether there are good reasons appealing to many why one is better than the other). |

| A more interesting poll would be the studio version of Fool's Overture versus the live album version of Fool's Overture. |

| ^ Paris, eh ?? Haven’t listened to it since the early ‘90’s. I thought it was way tooo strictly in line with the studio versions. Impressive, though not exciting from memory (and that’s pretty hazy on this one) |

i find Aint Nobody But Me to be bether on Paris live,then on studio version,goes even more dissonant in the end -------------
