MLINBOG is one of the ten best albums of the 80s. They were sampling a good five years before sampling became fashionable. Influence aside, it's just a damn good album. I never tire of it. "Mea Culpa" and "The Jezebel Spirit" are great at scaring away the bland normals in your life.

I also like My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - a genuinely unsettling album to listen to - absolutely excellent. wink

Other than that, I've been listening to heaps of Tangerine Dream and Brian Eno's Apollo : Atmospheres and Soundtracks.

is a wash-the-work-from-my-head fave.

"The Jezebel Spirit" and "Number 8" have particulalrly nice aural massaging techniques at their disposal...

Yes, you did. Saying that, I used to have colleagues who went to places that offered that sort of experience and in all fairness, it was fine until trying to justify it on their monthly expenses. The explanation that it was just something to do with the head got them into all sorts of trouble, let me tell you...

ooo - mince pies. Got to go!...

(wwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooossssssssssshhhhhhhhhh....)

I once entered a place offering something called "Indian Head Massage." Thank God the masseur wasn't Indian, and think God he kept his mouth shut.

In all fairness, I did - very carefully - say 'aural'.

You're in for a treat.

I LOVE this album - it's one of the biggest influences on some early Ultravox stuff, and Eno's best 'vocal' album IMHO

It's one of my favorites, too.

A confession: I put it on whenever I play Dig Dug. It's an oddly appropriate soundtrack for killing Pookas and Fygars. Eno's not even dead, but he's dug himself a grave so he can roll in it.
