Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:19pm
Caryn:

@rrg: well, Klee's work is known for referencing his musician side. As Rainer Maria Rilke said, "I would have guessed that on many occasions his drawings were transcriptions of music." So, I suppose TNG is just turning the transcriptions back into music?

...Or maybe I'm just spouting bullshit too. Who knows?

Depends on the song. Solace is always played at that speed AFAIK. Others are more of a romp.

Yeah Irwin, cut it out. I want you out of here by 6pm! And be polite to the Prog Police Officers (essential federal employees who are not furloughed) waiting outside the studio who want to talk to you about Trick of the Tail. Of course, all you need to do is show them that gorgeous Hipgnosis gatefold and they'll let you go.
