    Lovely post Backdrifter. One of the best, most moving I've read anywhere. Here's to Kris Hallenga, and the other folks you mentioned 🍻

    Some losses this last month:

    Bernard Hill, actor, aged 79. Most recently known for the Lord Of The Rings films, before that as the captain in Titanic. But many of my generation have him etched in our memories as Yosser…

    I Don't Want It All is head and shoulders above everything else here, the only song that sounded full and complete. I love it.
    Falling is ok in parts.
    The rest is highly unmemorable, oxymoronic as that might be.

    I bought this when it first came out. Played it once. Saw no reason to ever listen again.

    Perhaps I should give it another chance?

    "A Different Drum" is my key track on this (for me rather complicated) album.
    "Zaar" is also nice. Third track was tough to pick. I have chosen "It Is Accomplished".

    I must say I have my problems with those soundtrack / instrumental albums, same with…

    20 years?????

    "If I Were You" stands out. I was surprised they played this in 2011 (?)
    I also like "Falling" and "I Don't Want It All"
