Greetings!
To continue my Renaissance-fest - a real stinker of a poll. Two of the most beloved Renaissance classics - but which one is best? Ashes are burning or Turn of the cards? For me I think I will have to go with Turn of the cards. There is something magical about both albums, but with Turn of the cards, there is such an atmosphere an incredible mood that is created. But over to you!

Both are great, but Cards gets the nod for this poll.

Both are fantastic, but Ashes Are Burning has a special taste for me, so it gets my vote.

It's a complete Turn of the Cards in this poll, because when I first looked, TOTC was well ahead in the poll with four votes to zero, but now Ashes Are Burning has edged in front by one vote.

I was just about to post something similar. I had started to feel sorry for Ashes are burning as it is such a great album and didn't deserve to have no votes!

Both 5* albums for me, but TOTC just shades it.
Black Flame and Cold is Being are stunning.

Turn of the Cards for me... so far my favourite Renaissance album. Though if I were to have only one Renaissance album, then it would have to be Live at Carnegie Hall.
