Forward on a few years and it sounds soooooo NORMAL now! Funny that you seem to lose that insane feeling as you get used to the album. Back to top

I suppose in some strange way it even starts to make sense in your mind.  It took me a while to get used to as well, so you're certainly not alone. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Well, being an Olfield fan alone proves that you're not a nincompoop!! It's not music for everyone, I mean, my classmates don't understand me when talking about music Greetings, Runaway Son from Holland! -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!"

Hmmm. Well I've been trying to enjoy the album ever since it was released, and somehow was never able to abandon the attempt. Spending so much time listening to a piece of music I dislike would qualify me for a degree in nicompoopness, I think.   Back to top
