   Although Distant Vision is really good, I voted for Icarus 2. I think the deciding factor for me was the emotional vocals

	The Coming Dawn is really sad, yet beautiful at the same time. (BTW I bought Masque the other day! What can I say, The Pinnacle, Icarus, what a band!!)

	I voted for the oldest song, "Myriad" -- with slightly different original lyrics, but essentially the same music, this one was part of the band's early years, when Livgren had just entered teh definitive line-up and still hadn't recorded their first album. Since it wasn't included in niether "Kansas" or "Song for America", it was finally dropped out for good. Great song, with a solid epic structure, some surprising jazzy leanings in the interlude, very much akin to pure 70s prog, revived for 2000 with an enhanced strength thanks to sound production. Kind regards.
