I don't dislike any of the tracks, that's probably its greatest strength. St. Augustine is the silly toe-tapper. Devil's Lexicon is a bridge from Orpheus which kinda makes me wish they completely went with the "creation of the Blues" concept they were originally going to do, and it and From Germ to Gem mix the story/spoken word with fascinating instrumentation- hard to choose the better of the two.

I'd say Gonwards is my favorite Andy collaboration. I also really like Orpheus too, but I love the Orpheus myth (thanks to The Sandman comics). Planet England is very good, but "Got My" is the only essential track to me on it. I keep thinking that I have to try Powers before bed... I simply cannot take it as a passive experience. I have chronic exhaustion problems too... so it may be literally deadly to try it in the car (although it is on the USB mix I have plugged into my car stereo now- I have to skip the songs when I realize I'm nodding off) I missed Monstrance for some reason.I have the Harold Budd album, but that too leaves me drowsy. My slight problem with Wing Beat Fantastic is that I suspect that Mike takes out Andy's more rhythmic devices and smooths things out to enhance the melodies. I have a feeling that I'd like some of Andy's demos more. I'm not sure you missed that much. I think I listened to it once, put it in a drawer with some other cds, and haven't heard it since.

Yeah I miss the number of these two I gave the lazy method a try of listening to a few of the tracks on YouTube even knowing it would sound better theoretically in a system and indeed theoretically as I don't have much of one in existence It didn't catch me as a typical work he did or like onwards where I felt the very creative spoken word poetry meshed well with Andy and sometimes Andy's voice which I happen to like. If there is some of missing I'm real interested but I haven't found anything Orpheus come right grab me the same although I'm going to give it a second over chance.

Through the Hill put me off any further collaborations. Not sure what the timeline is but the Harold Budd thing turned me right off.

Any thoughts on Power? I haven't heard much of that one yet.
