Comment:

Well, for a change, I really don't have much to say about this. I will make one comment, however:

Lady Of The Lake < Silently Falling < Nothing Else Matters < Beyond The Wheel < I Remember Nothing < L.A. Blues - The closing sequence for Disc #1. My first notion was to put the two "prog" numbers (from Starcas-tle and Yes' Chris Squire) together, and follow that with the Joy Division and Stooges numbers, which I knew would be the closers. But then I thought it wasn't a quite natural enough transition, and I tried to think of something to bridge the two pairs. The first thing I thought of was Metallica's hit ballad Nothing Else Matters, which would have been somewhat helpful. But then I thought I'd need one other thing, and that turned out to be Soundgarden's crushingly heavy and sinister dirge-rocker Beyond The Wheel.

I mean, think about those final three tracks on Disc #1 for a minute! We have an uber-heavy Soundgarden number...followed by Joy Division's equally sinister - I would say latently threatening - I Remember Nothing (the closing track from Unknown Pleasures), and capping the first disc off...is L.A. Blues - the "freakout" which closes the Stooges' Funhouse (1970)! I mean, talk about a slow and steady descent into the nether-regions of the inferno! (You could almost imagine Iggy's screams and howls in L.A. Blues as the tortures of the damned!)

Oh...and we have yet another "elimination":
Peter Hammill - In Camera (1974)
