Sadly there are some Project albums, such as The Turn of the Friendly Card (1980), which don't have an instrumental opener. I very much like all of these five pieces. It's either 'Voyager' or 'A Dream Within a Dream', I vote later.

I Robot ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

"I Robot" is by far the winner here, although "Sirius" and "Voyager" are both very good. "Lucifer" seems like an attempt to re-create "I Robot" that of course falls far short.

| Even though one is probably the best for dribbling a basketball to, my favorite is "irobot." |

Surprised to see a clear winner in this poll, I thought the race would be much more even. Poor 'Voyager'!  I love the way it grounds the album's airy soundscape. (I voted the first option -- such a powerful introduction to the 19th century horror atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe's tales.) |

my vote, mainly to give it at least one  ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| I Robot for me. A Dream Within a Dream and Sirius are great as well, but sound too short and incomplete without being followed by the next track. |

'Voyager' is my clear favorite, such an inexplicable landslide -------------

Another vote for I Robot ------------- Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake." Music Is Live Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Keep Calm And Listen To The Music… < |
