Speaking of monstrous vibe, did you ever pick up the reissued Spine of God?  You know I'm not going to leave off until you do...   :)

 I borrowed _Accident of Birth_ from a friend a while after

 Blake schtick which makes TCW so compelling. _Accident of Birth_ does
 not demand to have its artwork done as woodcuts and oils; TCW really
 does benefit from its concept to elevate the interest value of the  
 music
 and words together, for me at least. AoB punches about the same  
 weight,
 but doesn't have the style. So I thought anyway, yours,


Yeah, I know what you mean.  AOB is solid, but it doesn't transcend.   
TCW, though, is just laced with this monstrous _vibe_ that makes it  
as big as it should be. :)

Cheers,
