I found myself thinking of the man in Maestro who has a stained glass window for his left eye (the same stained glass as in the portals). Back to top

I like them all, but No Dream is indeed good enough to be a big hit. Mysterious lyrics, good melody. -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

bluemlein Group: Members Posts: 83 Joined: June 2020 Posted: June 18 2021, 23:36 well, nightspore and piltdownboy - why isn't it!? perhaps too raw? perhaps m.o. was leery of letting what was a rare glimpse into his soul go into broad circulation? right from that first wahwah, it's got great technical balance. his voice is much better than he would give himself credit for. it's not too late, MO (or, as some people call him,gordon mikefield[?] etc) Back to top

Gave me the feeling I really wanted to hear the track again. At a lot of moments you need to be near the volume knob, though... -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top
