That was an enjoyable listen, poor lucas though is a lost cause i think. But have we claimed a new fan in steve? I think so! One of us, one of us, one of us...

The intense humming of evil has always been my least favourite track on there but i am glad it is on there.
It feels dismissive to call it a song but it's a powerful statement and sounds immense when played live and for someone like lucas, who doesn't bother with lyrics, to have a new appreciation for it because of the lyrics is a win i'd say.

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.
