Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Oct. 26 2009, 04:05 I found a piece on youtube called The Song of the Boatman. Don't remember hearing it before. Video looks like part of TSODE but I can't see it listed as being part of that album. Anyone know what this is? Sorry if this has come up before but I couldn't find a reference to is in searching the forums or videos here. -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

And what a pleasure to see futuristic imagery being presented so positively! The video reminds me of the MVR games. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are cometars in the video at one point, aren't there? Back to top
