B is interesting in parts, I guess, but it's also overwrought and far too long. A is less interesting, and in fewer parts, but less overwrought and shorter. It's close.

Not sure about the track we're considering. There is no clear cut at 10:23. Anyway what I've heard until the 11' mark and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks. There were some interesting parts in B, but honestly I got tired after 10 minutes, and anyway it was not going to win.

Very close to abstaining here. Don't care for either, sorry.

I'm impressed by Hammill's power and stamina in B, but I prefer A's playfulness (and it has a fiddle, which always helps).

I've only listened to A so far and I don't understand what frame of mind you'd have to be in to want to devote time to it.

It's probably transcendent or something but I don't get it.

Having read the comments about B I'm not exactly gagging with excitement at this point....

one of those strange kinda match-ups (i'm a fan of those, by the way.)

A has stuff i can hang my horns on. it *is* playful in its quirky, freaky way (and fiddle *does* always help.) B is a trip, hammill being wicked (diff sense of horns in this case), and it is really more of a "me" thing, even though it does overstay its welcome a bit. i was kinda expecting some sort of kick-back-in which never came. maybe it's just me. still, sometimes, over the top can really hit my bottom line.

i dunno. i think it's a toss up.

hm.

i'll go with hammill. but i'm happy either way.

You're right, of course - no idea how this time tag came about, the right one would have been at 9:10.

Not that it would have changed a thing, mind... :roll:
