That does it then, someone is clearly spiking the water supply in Blighty and
Oz; it's driving everyone stark raving bonkers!!!
(Either that or it's final proof that I've completely lost touch with The
Youth Of Today; these neurons running around in our skulls are funny things)
I'm barely into my 2nd pass through "In Pine Effect" and already I have to
say that the 3rd track ("The Wailing Song") and (especially) the 4th track
("Old Fun #1") are phenominal fusings of classical orchestration and strings
with Mike's own style. They both blow "Icct Hedral" into the weeds.
I'm amazed there are this many negative reactions to this record. It rocks!
