I used to think this was rubbish when I was a teenager. I wonder if I'll like it better now?

One thing to note before we begin...

That is an absolutely dreadful album cover.

It's one of the worst I've ever seen.

It could almost be a Chris & Cosey album cover.

It's started!

Track 1 - Down to the Waterline.

Ooh, spinny!

Guitar. Sounds like a Strat.

Quiet start.

Very hissy.

Guitar.
