I've only listened to Light a few times but I always put Shade on first and have listened to Shade many more times. Love QS, Res, Surfing, TOAA, Ringscape and Lakme and Cook's Tune has just become my favourite :-) -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

I think Light has some very moving tracks, most notably Blackbird and First Steps, IMO. -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability."

I have equal as many favorites on each disc, those are: Blackbird, Our Father, Sunset, Resolution, Slipstream and Tears Of An Angel. And I'll bet my hat that it will stay this way for many years to come. So now my "clear" view of this is set...I really hope that I don't have to eat it all up later on. P.S. Romance is one of the cheapest, computer manufactured rubbish cover of an old Spanish melody that allready has been a cover by Lill Lindfors (swedish vocalist -"Du är min ende") for aaages... -------------- "...I've never seen a connection between music and politics.

That's not counting the number of plays on my iPod. And I only got this album less than three months ago. Although I have my favorites, I love to listen straight through all of Shade, as well. One piece I didn't play much at first - "Ringscape" - has grown on me since playing the Tres Lunas game.   -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top
