That's too difficult. Could be Taurus II, Orabidoo or Five Miles Out. The other two aren't far behind either. Null vote - can't decide!  :)

What a difficult question !
To me FMO is one and unique track ! I just can tell that Mount Teidi is the one I love the less, although that it's my avatar  :p

Easy match for me. ;) Title track for sure. Family Man comes close, but how Mike said it himself, it's not representative. Orabidoo is cute, but sometimes I wish to break that Vocoder into a million splinters. Mount Teide is cute, but... Eh. And Taurus II is... you don't want to get me started on Taurus II.

It just makes me feel that, with Taurus II, he wanted to make a super-mega-composition of epic proportions, but he just didn't have any good ideas to stuff it with. In a very, very good day, it might pass by me as mildly pleasant background muzak, but why should I need such a monster when anything from QE2 is far more effective completely beats me.

He, Taurus II have a big predominance. I voted on this composition too. It is very ingenious, sometimes with strange voices(for example 11.38), but very, very nice.

Taurus II for me as well. Great live track, and although Sir M has a point about lack of ideas, the ideas Mike did usr are awesome!

My favorite is also Taurus II, followed by Family man & Mt. Teide.
I love the entire album, but probably like Orabidoo the least if I have to pick one.
To me Taurus II does not feel like it lacks ideas, I loved it & feel it is very original & well composed.

I love the title track.  I also like the original version of "Family Man".  I prefer it over the version done by Hall and Oats.
