Starting off at 5.15am Monday morning with a drive down the M40 to pick my boss up from Heathrow, listening to 'Gone To Earth'. There was a moment during 'Wave' than took my breath away. Watching the sun slowly light up the horizon in a shimmering golden glow whilst in the rear view mirror I could see a full moon shining in a sky of darky dreamy blue, as David sings "open the door to life & let it go". It was almost an epiphany.
That’s a really magical image, and what a fantastic moment to have been listening to
Wave.

Snap! Its also what I was listening to yesterday lunchtime (and again today).
Recently bought it on CD, haven’t heard
Words With The Shaman’ since I parted company with the original cassette years ago, nor listened to
Steel Cathedrals on my VHS copy this side of the millennium, so I was really happy that the tracks have weathered the passage of time well.
Steel Cathedrals just fits in perfectly with my current listening habits, and the CD reminded me of how consistent David has always been in his more textural and ambient work.
