I prefer epics over ditties here. It's just not possible to pack more emotion into 5 mins than is possible to pack into 15!

Livemiles Part 2, especially the last section
Valley of the Sun
Cloudburst Flight
Quichotte Part 1
Silver Scale
Nottingham 1976 Part 1
Logos Part 1 ("Red Part" thru "Blue Part")

Just for a few of the more memorable ones.

Damn well pack'd there, yes, but it won't cumulate.

The flute bridge from Nottingham, for example, is IMO every bit as emotional, and it fits into a much larger framework. Zero contest here.

Dreamtime from 220 Volt is a lovely heart wrenching tune. Beautiful IMO.

For me the most emotional parts of TD's music are often the sad, symphonic, orchestral oriented parts.

Examples:- First and last minutes of Rubycon, end of Tangram Set 1 and start of Set 2, the chords to Church Theme/Silver Scale, Unicorn Theme, the last few minutes of Alchemy of the Heart.

But nothing can beat the climax of the second piece from the Royal Albert Hall 1975.

"The Blessed Damozel" immediately comes to mind.

'Charly the Kid' for sure. That track always gets to me deeply. It also makes me reflect on the film 'Firestarter' quite a bit, and the emotional state Charly was in.

Personally for me (for very personal reasons), Midsummers Night and Death of a Nightingale from TOTT.

Fascinating thread, but I find choosing tracks very difficult. I'd have to skip through my impressively large TD collection to figure it out

However, the quiet pieces in Tangram Set 1 and 2 (the original and still the best version) get to me, probably because I was 14 at the time of first listen. I don't often get moved to tears by TD's music but I do feel a whole range of emotions listening to TD albums. I'm thinking of Towards the Evening Star, Cool At Heart for example.

Must second that..the build up on this track is spine tingling. It makes you really think as to what happened on that terrible day.
