trcanberra Group: Members Posts: 349 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: April 26 2008, 04:07 Well, finally caught up with this one, and of course had to post another poll.  In Dulci for me, also like Portsmouth and Argiers. First Excursion is interesting (from that odd documentary?) but Bedford is not my thing (though some of Mike's guitar playing is interesting). EDIT - APOLOGY - SHOULD BE IN BOXED - CAN AN ADMIN PERSON MOVE IT PLEASE?? Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: April 26 2008, 07:06 Toss-up between Phaeacian Games, Star's End and First Excursion for me; really can't decide, they're all marvellous. All the other ones are nice, too, of course - I even like Speak... Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: April 26 2008, 07:44 First Excursion for me.Probably my favourite piece of music from all of Mike`s albums put together.The Rio Grande is also pretty high on my favourites list though,as is Argiers.It`s a great album, deserving of a single release of it`s own imo.

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: April 28 2008, 02:50 I voted for Phacean Games (and you all thought i'd go for First Excursion-not in this context...).This is such a joyfull peice that it makes me smile everytime i hear it!And Mike's solo matches the mood so perfectly.Don't really know what it is about it but it soars with a freedom that's maybe missing in his own work. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Sep. 06 2008, 18:36 Phae, no wait - Fayziun, thingy - the one with the looong guitars.....   Toss up between that and First Excursion. I love Rio Grande but after a few consecutive plays those cute kids can grate. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: Sep. 08 2008, 03:26 Yeah but the solo at the end makes it so worth it (almost). -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top

SunkenForest Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: Jan. 2010 Posted: Jan. 20 2010, 20:44 I almost cast my vote for Speak, but ended up deciding on the Rio Grande. Also, Portsmouth hasn't been getting enough love.  Who doesn't love upbeat jolly roger-style music?  I love me some upbeat jolly-roger style music. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Jan. 21 2010, 17:51 I don't like any of the things he did with Bedford - I don't like Bedford's writing. So my vote goes to "In Dulci Jubilo" because Les Penning's playing on that tune is excellent. However, "Speak" makes me laugh every single time I hear it, so it's a bit of a tie between those two. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
