Eloy - Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (1979)



German progressive rock band "Eloy" broke new ground with "Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes" back in 1979. While sounding a little dated and cheesy in parts, it still manages to sustain my attention. Particularly the track "Pilot to Paradise". ENJOY!

This Mortal Coil - It'll End In Tears (1984)




I HAVE RETURNED. Well after a 5 month absence I'm back. The reason for my long departure stems down to my laptop dying and me being too broke to fix my desktop. So once again all of my problems come down to not having enough money....isn't that how all of your problems in life begin or end? Enough of this, on to bigger and better things.

I don't know if anyone is a fan of David Lynch's film "Lost Highway" if you are and have seen the film, you will recall a scene towards the end where Pete is getting down and dirty in the middle of the night, just off of a lonely highway, with only the headlights from his car illuminating them. During this scene a song plays "Song to the Siren" originally by Tim Buckley, this version is by "This Mortal Coil" is a beautifully haunting song, that sends ripples into your brain....rather fitting for a David Lynch film. So check that song out if you haven't heard it before. ENJOY!
