I see this as a good thing, i remember the criticism of postcards and the PR of "one last shot at mass communication" because it sounded desperate and forced to the eventual detriment of the album. I welcome more passion projects and not trying to make stuff they think people want but what they want, the comparison to gruff's solo stuff is a good shout (american interior).

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
