i really love this after "lesson #2", i first heard that song, the first branca i've heard and i thought it was very subpar sy shit (i can only imagine listening to it in the early 80's when at that point, that was completely unheard of). the later part of the album, especially "lightfield" and "the ascension" are sublime.
that said, the most seismic of branca works, for me, is symphony #1.
