I love them. It is rare that this kind of thing works for me on an album but they acutally add something to it and pull together the interesting sci fi concept. The sext british voice doesnt hurt either.

Voice and lyrics are great and I think there's a harp in Affirmation I&II. Lovely, affirmation of how language can create division through individual perception.

Affirmation III gorgeous intro ....Reminds me of the Nepalese 'Bodhi-Tree' by Sur Sudha, which I cannot find anywhere on the net. (Very glad I have the CD which I bought in Kathmandu in 1998.) Gets really spacey then... cool & very gentle, like Neo in slow mo.... and the CoatsVeronia tweet 'Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.' It does do my head in a bit in places though.

That's why Mr Nelson on HitnRun1 should be the closing to AOA. Weird choice for HnR1. Like when I plant a Eucalyptus tree next to a Magnolia tree. Don't know what I was thinking... But Mr Nelson puts you back on earth after the journey through the unknown realm. It's a return from the Matrix but with purple instead of green rain so you can still maintain the memory of the journey though time.

Yup concept albums are mindful journeys.

Great music but terrible grammar and diction!

.

Foreign people must assume all English people have such bad grammar!

.

I'd love to hear a re-release TRC with a clearer voice like on AOA.
