Be interesting to watch this one. CH always seemed front heavy to me and it looks like the votes are already going mainly on side 2.

Yes it is front heavy, though I've always thought that is mainly down to the change in tempo which tends to make the latter tracks less "impressive". I think that the tempo change was for narrative reasons anyway, completely intentional. Everything is centred around Dayvan, after that soaring track there is a definite change in mood. TBH there isn't a track on there apart from Ataronchronon that I don't love, and even that I don't dislike.

EDIT: What happened with Geo?

This is the first and the last vote for me, I love the rest of the LP too much to exclude any parts of it

Farewell Fire no!

Well as long as either slow this bird down, tears from the compound eye or satellite anthem win ... :)

Did PeacockTail say Geo would be next? The polls clearly aren't chronological because we would've had Hi Scores by now :P

FUCKING ALREADY. Ataronchronon is one of my very favorite BoC songs ever, and it's already getting eliminated. FUCK!

Hyperventilating.. "Constants are Changing" isn't going to win, but I'll die if it's not kept in play for an extended period...it's my favorite of the shorter tracks on this album!

TCH is honestly my favorite album (yes I know it's not everyone's favorite) so it's hard to choose but I know Constants and Peacock won't be getting my votes.
