I originally posted this on 8/21, but I don't know why it didn't show up in the list: <snip> I have to agree with you. Pocket is such a wonderful masterpiece! I think of the collection as a real trip through the Universe. The first day I got the CD, I grabbed the headphones and sat down somewhere where I wouldn't be disturbed (I do this with most of my new CDs so I can concentrate on the music better). The moment the music starts, I feel like I am being taken on a trip through the Universe, with Deiter narrating! :) As each track is played, the beat and tempo increases, until it reaches a fevered pitch with Resistor, which seems to warp my mind's eye into light speed. Then Deiter takes me back down to Earth, explaining how "The Universe is Magic" (Which is SO true). Having all of this fit on a CD makes it a true "Pocket Universe".! :D zaphod@ga.prestige.net wrote:
I think it's absolutely brilliant! When I really want to rattle the windows or annoy my neighbors at work, I crank up Resistor to 11! I could live without To The Sea, at least with the pixie vocals, but otherwise, IMHO, it's one of their best.
