    Notes: According to some polls, this could be the fans' favorite track from Peter's latest album i/o. FOur Kinds Of Horses creates a special atmosphere and those "electric worms" by Brian Eno are a nice addition.
  • It's my favorite track on the album. I just love the atmosphere it creates. Somehow stately but unsettling. The overlapping vocals around the verses are effective too. I was going to give it 14, but I might just go ahead and upgrade that now.
