This was an awesome show 3-4 years ago in Hunter Valley, NSW in the vineyard. Band is still relevant today as when this first came out. They also did an awesome Triffids cover that blew me away on the day that is so worth hearing, or the triffids original for its a Wide Open Road. . Thanks Bill. |

(ok, /long-bow-drawing off...) That's an interesting take, Rashad. I love this song more every time I hear it...I just wish they had done something better than that yes, very dissonant bridge. Then I would have given it a 10. The rest of the piece is just magical though, so it goes from 8 to 9. |

Funny, I turned RP on as the Porcupine Tree song "Trains" was ending, with the notes I heard my mind segued right into this song and Voila!

Sadly, due to light pollution, it's hard to see the Milky Way in all its galactic glory from urban locations, but if you do manage to get to a place where it's truly dark - I mean, so dark that you can see nothing at all at night, not even the hand in front of your face - then the starry sky is an absolute revelation, a thing of neck-straining wonder.
That's a big attraction for backcountry and wilderness travellers. Star-light nights so bright they look like the milky way will burst. |

The bagpipes delineate this arrangement's Australian-ness. It's nothing to do with Scotland, all about dissonance. Fits right into the Australian psyche, a terror of doing anythng that could be construed as sounding "nice" or "gentle". You just have to look at Australian cinema, its what makes us the violence-porn centre of the Universe.

An Australian classic. Reminds me of jumping around to this with friends south of Sydney on a hot & humid night on New Year's Eve in 1998. Wonderful memories.
