Re: religious experience with Halcyon, I mean that everyone seems to have known it when it came out and heard it occasionally since but there was a sort of apocalyptic moment when it got played by Scott Mills or somebody when we were all about eighteen (ie: two or three years ago) and SUDDENLY WE ALL KNEW WHAT IT WAS. Evidently it embedded rather deeply in everyone's consciousnesses because we were all about 5 or 6 when it came out, obviously. It was just strange that no one had managed to adequately describe it to anyone else enough to track it down but everyone and I mean EVERYONE knew it.

And obviously also that none of us had ever acquired the Human Traffic soundtrack but that is just one of those things.

I find The Orb faintly annoying but this is largely due to ARGH BLOODY CLOUDS, which is just dreadful in every way.

Also, am I REALLY the only person who likes 'Oxbow Lakes?'
