comfortably numb
the next time you find yourself on an 8 hour road trip & are thinking of what music to listen to as a sonic backdrop to your dozing, let me recommend that you NOT choose Pink Floyd's The Wall. this is one that requires a full-on listen to really take in, & is a bit trippy even under normal circumstances. but, let me tell you, when you are in that place between sleep & awake it transforms exponentially into something else entirely. as you may have guessed, i tried my hand at this today & kept inexplicably jolting awake, etc; as i drifted in & out of consciousness between wichita & okc. my imagination did provide great storyboards for the narrative of the album though, eughhehe (shudder). listen to this only when you are awake. but DO listen to it.

I can't imagine trying to fall asleep to this album, particularly disc 2 when you get more of the crazy plot.
Also, if you've ever seen the movie, some of the imagery is unforgettable and inextricably tied to the music.
I have had good success with A Ghost is Born for the OKC-to-Wichita trip, as well as the first four Van Halen albums.
Love,
Mike
