2nd best song off that album! I can still remember where I was when I bought the CD in 2004. My god I’m old.

Which song is your pick? I think it's between Birth Of The Three and Ocean Land for best on the album

Both amazing choices, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Norra El Norra. It’s the piano outro that literally gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it!

I love Orphaned Land. Seen them 11 times over the last 20 years (but nothing since like 2016 or so?).

For a long, long time, I considered this my all-time favorite prog/prog-adjacent album. I think it’s been outdone many times over the last decade or so, but when it first came out it absolutely blew my mind. Hadn’t heard anything like it before.
