As some of you will be aware, Victorialand is not my favourite by a long chalk - always struck me as the album that had no bite and the one where they weren't really trying. It kind of meanders along and you sit and wait for something to happen....and then it doesn't :(
But best of the bunch is Little Spacey, with Oomingmak following close behind to keep it honest. Honestly though, none of the tracks would feature in any of my 'favourites' list.

march up to that gate and tell it "open, open".


Did you ever do the Wizard of Oz to Dark Side of the Moon thing? Classic!! :D

of course, I recommend a little uh......pimp first! ;)

come now, I don't want to pick just one....;)

besides, Victorialand is probably the one disc I am most fond of as one whole listen...largely of course from doing just that while studying...Imperial has been quite nice to work to lately, as I have been doing. My work isn't stressful on a normal basis, but any stress that comes along just bounces off when I'm working to that disc...

Scott, i whole heartedly agree! listening to both victorialand and imperial has been a true delight while in the studio working......

the little extra something that gives me just the right push at the right time to overreach myself consistently.......lovely.

and yes, victiorialand is one big peice of music to me. you start it, and listen untill its over. all of a whole.

here's to the doors of perception ;)
