TBBE, I recall our previous discussion regarding the trampolistic qualities of TBII. Unfortunately, I tend to associate trampolines with bruises, sprained limbs and tears, so it has negative connotations for me. I'm baffled as to why because I don't recall ever being on a trampoline in my life. Unless the memory has been suppressed for my own peace of mind??
I've always adored "Weightless"; I think it's one of Mike's greatest pieces, but the best part? I'm thinking it's a toss up among "Sentinel" (in my opinion, THE BEST version of the TB "Intro" theme), "The Bell" (Alan Rickman is my favorite of all the MCs), and "Weightless". And, what the heck, I'm going to stick "Altered State" in there, too. Yes it's got silly vocals and confuzzling lyrics but, darn-it-all, it's brash, shameless, nearly the musical equivalent to 'streaking', and I love it. There's actually quite a lot more that I love, but I'll go with those as the highlights.
(PS: The lovely guitar part around 1:35 in "Sunset Door" makes me very happy )
-------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty
