| I can't decide, but I think Sleepwalkers as superior for that funny part very similar with Raoul Casadei's Liscio Romagnolo, italian traditional dance music! |

Must admit, I'm not sure of the value of this type of poll but I have put one in for Sleepwalkers probably for sentimental reasons because it was one of the first tracks that drew me into VGG and it does incorporate a good cross-section of VGG eclectic abilities, full of energy and drama. ------------- Eternity |

Sleepwalkers probably will take the cake in this poll, but I've always preferred Arrow for its wonderful song-structure; great build-up in the beginning and a very cohesive track, with inspiring variations on that brilliant saxophone riff, which holds the compostition together throughout the eight or so minutes. Love it, the atmosphere created is so unique! Arrow was the first track on Godbluff that hooked me, though now I really like all four of them. Sleepwalkers is right behind Arrow, I think... Magnificent album, Godbluff. ------------- I was made to love magic |

Very hard to decide, but I'll have to go with Sleepwalkers. It's linger, with more interesting instrumental passages and solos. Arrow is a great song too, but Sleepwalkers is a bit more musically complex and interesting. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

I chose Sleepwalkers. Arrows is great as well (as is the whole album),
but I don't like the beginning that much, because i always get the
impression that I know the structure from another song (but I can't
find it, damn). But well, maybe it's just because Sleepwalkers was the first VDGG I listened to - and it really hit me! it would be harder for me to decide between Sleepwalkers and Scorched Earth (which is my fave of the album at the moment). |

Sleepwalkers - I consider Arrow as a reminiscence of Scorched Earth, two songs about agression (can't find more suitable word) - I love especially the ending with "If I only had time" phrase - wonderful coda to the ending of "Undercover Man" - " yet you still have time" - and then it beatifully melts into Scorched Earth. Godbluff - great great album, and I have a video of their gig performing live the whole album. ------------- yet you still have time! |

Sleepwalkers for me Sleepwalkers live this year has been fabulous one of the highlights of each show I was lucky to see. We have not been treated to Arrow (as to do so Hugh Banton would need to play bass guitar as opposed to bass pedals). Would have loved to have heard them do it live though. ------------- Proud to be an un-banned member since 2005 |

I love both of them, and I think this album is one of the best albums made ever. but Sleepwalkers was the first track that drew me to this album, and Arrow was the last one I learned to love. ------------- the contracts of my youth expire |
