Look here, can you stop your Hong Kong rain flowing over our way.
We had thunder storms and howling rain for days now. And it was hailing this late afternoon.

Now the full moon is shinning over my window and it is pretty still and cool. Stop the moment, it's just beautiful.

Moon? Don't remember what it looks like.
Full moon is just beautiful in New York, used to follow me home from the train station.

Interesting, especially since Portishead were heavily influenced by



quote:
An Electric Storm

In 1968 White Noise released the groundbreaking album An Electric Storm on Island Records. The album was created using a variety of tape manipulation techniques, and is notable for its early use of the first British synthesizer, the EMS Synthi VCS3. Amongst many oddities, the first track on the album Love Without Sound employed speeded up tape edits of Vorhaus playing the double bass to create violin and cello sounds.

'I use voices a lot too, but not as conventional vocals. I always use a lot of voices, and if somebody having an orgasm in the background is used as part of one of the waveforms, it makes the sound more interesting, without the listener actually knowing what they're hearing.' Interview with David Vorhaus

Although not initially commercially successful for Island, it has over the years proved to be a cult classic, going on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide, namechecked by such contemporary artists as The Orb and Julian Cope, influencing such contemporary acts Broadcast, Add N to (X), and Secret Chiefs 3.

A brief extract from An Electric Storm can be heard in the Hammer Film Productions film Dracula AD 1972

Looks like rain, dear...



Actually I want more. Every time people get a day off because of a typhoon or black rain, I'm out of town. That said, wouldn't wish any more on those poor folks in Tai O.

Watchu talkin' about Willis?

It's bright yellow , almost silvery white sometimes ( depends what you have been drinking.)

yeah, I did wonder why the moon was following me on the train. I thought one station was far enough , how come it caught up so fast. That was in my childhood in Hongkong, and the train was from Kowloon to NT.

I am still as dumb as ever.........

Funny, I read that before tracking back to the previous comment. Was just getting ready to sn***** at any deluded urinotherapists amongst us.

How are you finding Third. I think I'm getting old as it was a bit difficult on first listen.
