so far "firth of fifth" has been my favorite since finally hearing the album. those organ chords are so damn majestic.

i'm also inordinately fond of "after the ordeal" -- the closing section reminds me vaguely of the end of some rpg.

what an amazing album, so many great songs. my fave has always been "the battle of epping forest". there is a metaphysical quality to tony banks keyboard play all over the album but especially in that song around the 4 minute mark. additionally it goes into so many different directions, stops and starts again. almost like a roxy music song.

Dancing With the Moonlit Knight, if only for including the pun "The knights of the green shield stamp and shout", understood by a diminishing and geographically-limited number of people!

how did Cinema Show not walk this with a huge margin

second half of Cinema Show is so damn good, only thing is I think the version on Seconds Out actually rocks harder
