Perhaps Soliloquy For Lilith would be a better choice.

Or Homotopy to Marie?

That's considered to be NWW's first proper LP and a classic of sorts.

What does Stev-ButtonZ think?

I mean, "Lilith" is well over 2 hours long, but Salt Marie Celeste and Homotopy to Marie are roughly an hour long, so in line with Metal Machine Music.

To The Quiet Men From A Tiny Girl was the first one I heard. sad yes

That is not helping.

I say Homotopy to Marie because more stuff 'happens'. yes

This is it. I'm about to go in.

Hold on. I just need to open up separate windows, so I can type and watch at the same time.

Track One.

Nothing seems to be happening. I have the volume at 102% which is a feature you have on Linux Mint. The volume can be turned up to about 150%. :spinaltap:

Music's started playing. I'm going to have to go on Wikipedia for a track listing.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:08 pm

There is no track listing for it on Wikipedia. Colbert

This is going to get confusing. Colbert

The tune's not started yet. The band are still tuning up their instruments.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:10 pm

Spiritually, so far it's quite reminiscent of Mars from The Planet Suite.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:10 pm

By Must Have Holst.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:11 pm

It's quite dramatic, so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:15 pm

9 minutes in.

Still tuning up.

They've only tried two notes, so far. I don't know how they'll be able to tell if their instruments are in tune just from doing that.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:16 pm

Some sort of scorpiony instrument just came in. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:16 pm

It's on the left channel. They're using stereo. happy

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:17 pm

Is this about the boat? Is this why it sounds sort of like the swelling and falling of the tide? Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 19, 2019 8:17 pm

Anyway, I know what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste.

The daleks chased them off the ship.

I saw it in a documentary.
