"The Feeling Begins" and "A Different Drum" remain as the penultimate spiritual chants only succeeded by Gabriel's "Cloudless" in echoing the flowing rhythm of a ritual invocation, reaching from some artificially distant place inside our soul into our soul in this time and place. There's illusion, enchantment, magic and power, there are miracles. And it still, to this day, makes me believe.

Some people read romantic short stories. Some go to have long walks on the beach. When I'm blue, I either go running or watch Wong's "Chunking Express", Tarkovsky or listen to the saddest music. Rubinstein's interpretations of Chopin are high on that list, as they are on every other best-of list I've yet compiled.
