I wouldn't say that TBII changed my life, though it probably did a bloody good job of it. In october 1992, a few weeks after "Sentinel" was released, my mother died. I was 12 at the time.
A few days later, I was taken to the town by a family friend, presumably to get me out of the house while arrangements were made. While at the town, I bought two records, one of them was the single version of "Sentinel".
While the family friend was in a shop, and I was waiting outside, a kid who couldn't have been older than 4, approached me and started saying "Where's your mam? Eh? Is she dead?".
It wasn't until about 18 years after this, I happened to listen to TBII, and the track "Altered State", with the lyrics "Where's your mummy, where's she gone?". Strange coincidence that I bought a single from the very same album minutes before the above incident!
