Sounds to me like a transition between the first album and Ceremonials. Mostly
instrumental building up to simple but powerful chanting. Great stuff. Buy,
buy!!

BTW, is a hep person sth like a denelcor person...? (I told you it was bad...)

< On the vocal range of various female singers >
I used to be a big Anne Haslam fan, but Renaissance, if not disbanded, should
be for all the junk they put out a few years ago. Diamanda Galas is probably
the unchallenged queen of the multi-octave screamers, but you should avoid
her if you have tender ears (and musical tastes.) Diana Rogerson (from
Nurse with Wound and maybe Current 93) is no slouch herself.

You can get Re/Search books in Champaign/Urbana. In fact I've seen them in
not one, but TWO different book/record stores. This must be a hep place, eh?

I'm not sure if Tim and Karen Finley are that compatible. Tim's thing is
oral gratification, while Karen Finley seems to lean towards anal 
activites...
