Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Feb. 22 2014, 01:49 The sad thing is that, despite it being surreally random, that review seems to have more to do with the album than a lot of the current trendy "I'm going to spend 5 paragraphs revealing how I'm much more clever than the people who made this album, and one sentence telling you what the music is actually like" type of reviews... If that was my album being reviewed there, I'd be tempted to hang the review on the wall as an inspiration to future albums...in fact, I'm tempted to do that anyway Back to top

That review is part trip, part meditation--haven't ever read one like it (yet anyway--who knows what is out there to be discovered! ).  It was also surreal to read that review of Hergest Ridge in one column and to look at the Billboard Top 10 in the other! The concert listing--Genesis, Zappa, Bowie--wow. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top
