(Instrumental)
| joe-1 | Posted: May 18, 2013 - 03:25 Very nice atmosphere and arrangements. Love the metal sound in combination with piano and strings. This would mix really well with songs from M83. |

This track is played far too much and whilst there is nothing wrong with it I'd rather hear something new. Just a thought!! Really now, a bit of perspective is in order. Please stop and consider just how freakin' diverse the playlist is here. Absolutely nothing is played too frequently on RP. Any such arguments are simply the height of ridiculousness. |
| catnip (mostly wearing lard) | Posted: Feb 16, 2013 - 13:47 "I am the Walrus"is a hard act to follow, but this manages it perfectly. Amazing tune. The whole album is worth it. |

| TheFiero | Posted: Nov 14, 2012 - 12:21 Yes, for some reason this is one of those tracks that seems to be played more frequently than the statistics indicate. However, the PSD button is always close by. ricmo wrote: Is it just me but does this song get the equivalent airplay (on RP at least) that Hey Jude did when it was peaking? I mean this is a decent song but it's not Hendrix or Beatles or even Van Morrison. What gives? |

You might as well complain about the music coming out of a passing car. I know what you mean, but your example may need reconsideration. You must not live in a place where people go about with 400-watt stereo systems and ultra-bass sub-woofers, rumbling out of their vehicles in excess of 100 dB. True though, complaining does little good in that situation. Good song, by the way. |

That no European living today is entitled to criticize atrocities and blatant violation of human rights, because of what happened before they lived? If so, you better brush up on your debating skills, bud. Because you ain't going go win any that way. I am fully aware of atrocities in Iraq and Vietnam, etc... not my point. Our soldiers are wonderful, brave etc.. I am glad we don't adopt the do-nothing ethos of Europe. Does that help my debating skills any? If not, I don't give a flying f. Not to take anything away from our (the US) active and past military personnel, I think this country would be a lot better served if we DID adopt a little bit more of Europe's "do-nothing ethos." Is there really any need for the US to be the world's police force? And even if there is, I'd hardly call the majority of our military actions over the last 60 years police work. There is a very strong record of supporting revolutionary groups who are working to overthrow existing democratically elected governments (or at least stable and somewhat equitable) and making the new government pawns in America's ambitions. That is, until our little pawns get a mind of their own and do something like, I don't know, invade Kuwait? Or maybe supplying the Afghanistan resistance movement against the Russians in the 80's only to have those same weapons fired at American soldiers a few decades later. I, for one, think we should get our fingers out of places they don't belong. Would you want China, Japan, or Russia trying to dictate decisions and policy in our country? No? Then why should we have the right to do the same in any other country? |

Maybe it's best if we just stick to the music, huh? |

The title is a direct reference to the pseudo-cult that was active in the 70s based on the books by Erich Von Daniken and other authors, whose names I can't remember offhand, which postulated a belief that aliens visited Earth in prehistoric times and instructed civilisations to build monumental structures such as Stonehenge, the Nazca lines, Easter Island statues, and many more. It was a kind of secular pseudo-religion which caught the mood in the hottest years of the Cold War when it seemed that only beneficent aliens from a higher civilisation could save humanity from destroying itself. As well as Daniken's 'non-fiction' books, there were also a number of SF novels that pushed the same idea. I know - I was an adherent of this belief in my late teens. |
