I’ve been dwelling on the past lately :)

First, I revisited one of my 2006 favourites, Circulus‘ Clocks Are Like People. Such a brilliant album, it always reminds me of the lost music of some magical foresty people, like the Children of the Forest in ASOIAF. Nerdy :D

Anyway, this is the song that still sent shivers down my spine when I heard it. Play it LOUD.

Song of our Despair

Second, I torrented the new Genesis 3DVD set, When in Rome. Twas awesome to finally see that unique concert again. I caught two shots of me – one rocking out during the ‘Cinema Show’ part, and one while singing along to ‘Ripples’. Wonderful show that was… except ‘Invisible Touch’ :D

There’s also a documentary – I would’ve liked more rehearsal footage instead of boring stage production details, but still there’s some great moments in the doco: when the guys first meet and listen to ‘Cinema Show’ together, or the footage of ‘Carpet Crawlers’ in rainy Katowice, with people in the crowd singing along… quite emotional.

And third, I got my grubby hands on some Cardiacs rarities, including a couple of BBC sessions from 95-96. Really cool to hear, especially the Sing to God songs in the second session – their awesome energy is even more effective in a live setting, and minus the squashed production of STG. C’mon, get’em. If you need extra incentive, here’s ‘Fiery Gun Hand’:

UPDATE: fuck sharebee, this link should work.
