best fuckin' album

kneejerk is Cloud of Unknowing but I owe a relisten

It's the 'Cloud of Unknowing' for me. Which sells short the rest of this supreme album, but 'Cloud' is the alpha and omega. And both musically and lyrically became a staple, a template, for Tibet on later records.

that's a great one and a highlight, but I voted for "Into The Menstrual Night We Go" which is my favorite one of their creepy nursery rhyme style tunes

also I still prefer TPM, sue me

this record SOUNDS better, though

'TPM' is my next to fave, just before 'Of Ruine...'. 'All The Pretty Little Horses' will always be my C93 number one.

this has become one of my favourite albums of all time so it's very hard to vote - one of those records where the first half is amazing and then the second half is even better

torn between 'all the world makes great blood' and 'the great, bloody and bruised veil of the world' as the wondrous, cosmic, ancient heart of this album/entire project, although the two tracks after them are equally worthy

a TPM poll would be a much, much more straightforward affair for me, because 'all the stars are dead now' is on it

ok voting 'veil' it's magic

Damn I should’ve gotten in here to vote for “Moonlight”

shoutout to the other "Menstrual Night" voter!

― sleeve, Saturday, 17 August 2019 00:46 (four years ago) link

Damn, I forgot to vote. Mine would definitely have gone to Steven and I in the Field of Stars - such a beautiful song.

― tangenttangent, Saturday, 17 August 2019 08:10 (four years ago) link

Eight votes. I'd have added mine if I owned this album. This poll made me look for it in local stores etc, but no luck. I must buy it off Discogs
