^ Godbluff, the songs and vocals are simply better over all.

I personally love the first 7 MB albums and these two are very even in quality, but I think I'd take Threshold by a wafer thin margin... on the basis that it could change back again in 6 months?

I love both of those Vangelis releases John, I find the quality very even between the two overall, which is why I paired them, but you are right, SF is a beautifully delicate piece of work... quite delightful.

I will let someone else have a go on the BJH, because I've written something for you in the Febus thread... Big smile

^ Grand Tour; always thought Folklore is overrated. Then, I'm a sucker for a great live recording packaged as a studio album.

Yeah, these were my first listens of both and I don't think I can craft a worthy opinion without a few more spins. Not really my style - reminded me of Porcupine Tree, but the production of Trace just propelled this one for me. Sorry Cristi Wink
