SubVersion Stop 66: Muttley - Closing Down (January 2010)

Carl Sagan's Ghost's "Closing Down" was the initiator for this concept - undertaking with association triggers. Sometimes I'm afflicted by nervous energy, and I have to disconnect from my computer or internet; in essence, to close down.

"Closing Down" is a specially made soundtrack - like "The Eyes, They See An Ominous Pillar" was, that serves to heal reaching normality once again, spanning 34 minutes.

"Now, well now it's time, to pull yourselves into lines, and raise and rise, push your leaves and branches high" sings Leo Chadburn at the tail end; a telling narrative to pick yourself up whatever background you have. This won't be to everyone's taste.

  2. Hadn't gotten past the first 10 or so mins previously, but gave it a third try or so and listened in entirety tonight. =) Glad as it was overall a nice mix, calming expiernce as a whole. Really like the peace that last days brings into it half way. The last song - Let It Begin was a very pleasant surprise, such a beautiful track for the closing.
