"Going Blank Again" is more melodic than "Nowhere", but that just makes it more trippy. There are some nice moments on "Carnival of Light" too, but it's patchy compared to the first two. "Tarantula" has the odd sparkling moment but generally sounds tired - it's pretty retro and Bell and Gardener hated each other by then.

This is the first song of "Going Blank Again":

There was a re-released version of the album not long ago, with some extra tracks. TBH I'd try to find the original if you can, because the album worked as a cohesive whole and the ending was nicely done and nicely timed. The bolted-on extra tracks will probably spoil that.

"Leave Them All Behind" is one of the best songs ever written.

:lol:

Well, ok... It still means a lot to me. Great song.
