Neither of these are big favourites of mine but Elegia wins by default as I'm once again having "Movement amnesia" regarding the songs/titles on that album.

As with The Him, which one's ICB again? :scratch:

To be fair to Movement I do really rate Dreams Never End, Chosen Time and Denial but the rest never left an imprint despite a fair amount of listening :shrug:

I can see this one being very close

Neither is really outstanding but they're both decent. At the moment I'm not too fussed with Movement so went with Elegia.

NOT the full length edit though

The singing style on ICB throws me off, and Movement is a fine album. So Elegia got me, because I never get tired of that song and its soft soundscapes.

i actually do like to put on the full length Elegia, i find it relaxing.

The problem with this is that I listened to ICB a lot of times recently, but the cover done for Community 2... and it's quite good so it enhanced the idea I had of this track.

So I'm puzzled... Elegia is good, but you can't listen to that 20 times in a row without getting bored (especially the extended version!)

But everything on Movement except Dreams Never End is not really my cup of tea, so I'll vote for Elegia.

You're quite a contradictory person ;)

ICB any time, just find Elegia too boring :shrug: I'm quite partial to NO's instrumentals on average but this one just never impressed me at all.

Elegia, again because it's a bit of a departure from the norm and it's nice and atmospheric, great bit of chill after the storm of Sunrise... ICB is good, but not one of the best off Movement...

Elegia, especially in its original, unabridged version, is a great and enjoyable moment of coolness.

ICB.

I've never find the right mood to listen to the full length elegia all the way through.
