Huw, what are your thoughts.

Probably best to quote from the liner notes, which quote the review in The Observer (1968):
"From the opening bars of the overture, one was plunged into a world where man was at the mercy of wind and water, and against this tumultuous background there unfolded a story, not of cosy sentimentality and true love, but of an obsessive and self-destructive passion that can only be consummated in annihilation."

'nuff said, tremendous stuff!

On ECM

Tool - 10,000 Days. For those of you who think Gavin Harrison is one of the best drummers on the planet, check out Danny Carey. So much power with deftness as well.

Still the dog's bollocks of an album:

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

One of the early Reference Recordings disc.
