OOOOOH! Is this the Apollo thing? Ambient music, yeah?

Confession: I stole this record from someone I didn't think would miss it. Still have it, albeit it didn't come with anything other than a generic inner sleeve. Would take me a zillion years to find it, but I'm willing to try. I've only got about 4 boxes of records and it can't be in any of my usual piles...

Okay, found it rather easily. Gonna put it on now. Can't exactly annoy the neighbors with this sort of music, eh?

― A Breath of Fresh Culture (Bimble), Sunday, 21 June 2009 20:43 (sixteen years ago)

You left off the one I would vote for: "An Ending (Ascent)"!

― Hideous Lump, Sunday, 21 June 2009 21:21 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, WTF! The best song is left off! That's one of the best pieces of music ever written, in fact.

Oh shit, looks like this is a call for the BOTCHED POLL CLEANUP CREW.

― A Breath of Fresh Culture (Bimble), Monday, 22 June 2009 01:27 (sixteen years ago)

what, is this the poll for like the british release version of where tey left off the best track on the album or something?

you know, i'm not even sure about how i feel about participating in an apollo poll started by somebody who didn't bother to include what is CLEARLY the best song on the album on it - i may have to boycott even if they manage to fix this terrible, terrible snafu.

what sad results. didn't see this, would've voted Always Returning, just ahead of Ascent and Deep Blue Day

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 25 June 2009 23:49 (sixteen years ago)

i would have chosen ascent, but any of the tracks with "star" in the title are stellar.

Possibly overestimated ILM's sense of humour here.

three years pass...

Listening to this now and was just checking to make sure it hadn't been polled before. If not, I was going to put one up and then congratulate myself on not capitalising it in the title.

Anyway, it's a lovely record.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the day that the night manager at Tower Records in El Toro discovered a new and powerful psychological weapon to encourage people to chill out and promptly leave the store.

This poll should be redone properly to celebrate its 40th
