somewhat spoiled by band's website blurb on the album it's from:
Zooming in at any part of SNOWFLAKE MIDNIGHT, at nearly any conceivable magnification, always reveals the forces of symmetry and chaos at play, shimmering, vibrating close-ups and vistas of life driving itself onward, bursting with patterns and mandala-like forms pushed to the brink of incredible pressures then lost in an instant... blown apart by their own majestic desire to share themselves, spirals of new momentum inter-twingling with the vastness of limitless new creation... The entire album sequence appears to be a resplendent fractal, folding in upon itself, into something continually new, unpredictable and spontaneous, and yet, paradoxically at times so subtly self-aware, never failing to resemble itself in the whole...

Big 2nd for Glen's choice My Friend The Sun - Family and my perennial request for Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream vs The Hoxtons .. dance version to cheer us up for the weekend. Umpteenth request.
Otherwise, I've found the themes quite disinteresting this week.. maybe a year on, I too find the blog more interesting than the show.Tonight should be interesting, potentially.. what does Janet do? what does John do? Does Miss Babs make it a threesome...? we should be telt...
