I'd say "The Talking Drum", I really like all songs on it though.

I imagine that Book of Saturdays will get the short end of the stick here, but I cast my vote for The Talking Drum. While I generally like tense, gradually building crescendoes, Talking Drum does it a bit too gradually and monotonously to have any real effect. Love the screams at the end, though!

The Talking Drum used to be my favorite KC track, and I still consider it to be among their best. Can't say I understand why so many aren't fond of it. Anyway, the obvious choice is Book of Saturday. Take that out, and I'd have to start flipping coins.

If I have to choose, then Talking Drum. But it's a hard choice as the album in whole is great and there isn't weak track there...

I never get how one can possibly really love something that repeats endlessly.

I used to think like that, maybe three years ago, it's a matter of music listening re-education. You just have to relax, turn off your brain and let the ever-increasing rhythm carry you Wink I know that as a musician it's not an easy thing to do though.

He might need some Swans or Godflesh to educate him LOL

Or to stay on the more-intellectual side of things,  some minimalism or krautrock (Can, Neu!)

Perhaps some Ozric Tentacles as well?

^ In my case it was precisely Can or Neu! who revealed that to me. I really can't get into Swans though Ermm

Went with Talking Drum, basically because I had to go with something. Overall, a fantastic album that doesn't have a bad track...

I don't know, the only one I even remember what it sounds like is Part 1.

Book Of Saturday is so beautiful, Fripp's guitar, Wetton's bass lines and vocals, no way I'm voting for that one.

If I'll have to choose I'll give it to The Talking Drum, it's not bad in any way just the least interesting.

Book Of Saturday, if only because it's the shortest. Still good, though.
