Really difficult, since all of Part 2 is so magnificant! Harmonia Mundi is my choice. To me, this is the absolute highpoint in MOTS, for many reasons (but let me stress that I like each and every track! ).
11 is very elaborate, emotional, beutiful, thematically interesting (everything in MOTS come together here in an intelligent fashion), the guitar is lovely played ... it is mature music, with Mike not trying to force anything in your face; he knows it is extremely strong material and lets it speak for itself.
I almost picked Musica Universalis which I think contain the strongest theme ever written by Mike; yes EVER. I am talking about the notes introduced by the piano ... it is to me ... beyond words ... I just love it ... and I love the way the guitar plays along it. Subtle, perfect.
But 11 has melodies almost that strong as well, and is compositionally slightly more complex (as far as I am concerned). More original since it is less TB-influenced.
Amazing actually, when I think about it; I can have them both! I don't have to choice ...
