Big Eyed Beans still sends shivers. It is so out there, it rocks really hard, it is free association and expresses a kind of liberation from reality as we know it.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Bat Chain Puller
Electricity
Ice Cream For Crow
The Past Sure is Tense
Run Paint Run Run
The Floppy Boot Stomp
Suction Prints
The Dust Blows Forward n' The Dust Blows Back
Hot Head
Hair Pie Bake 2

welcome to Entropia, I mean, welcome to our community! Just remember one thing: Robert Fripp is considered the King of Prog here, so don't piss him off.
