Comment:

Picture this scene, if you will: You sit at the back corner of an empty train carraige, leaning your weary head against the window as the train glides smoothly down a straight, single track. The sun is setting and the sky is a deep red with pink clouds, lined with a gorgeous orange glow. You pass beaches, rolling waves, desert sand and old ruins of long forgotton stone structures. Perhaps even a few windmills, gently turning in the soft breeze in the distance as to increase the mood. You listen to these songs, and reflect... (Trust me on this!)

You paint a most wonderful picture, both in writing and in music. I love almost every single song on here. (And Jeff!)

Now this is really, truly nice. And yeah, I can definitely picture that scene!

A really nice mix of the new and old, with some '75 Floyd, some of Sabbath's mellower side, and some classic Beatles and Lennon tracks!

By the way, I really like those Terry Reid numbers you've got bookending the set. Seed Of Memory, in particular, I think really makes for a good closer!

Trust is not a thing easily given, but I think here it is most applicible. (Did I spell that right?)
