A bit unfair as The Fountain of Lamneth is several different songs, but Salmacis is brillant so I'll go for that. |

I was hoping for Thinking Plague's "Fountain of All Tears", but of course it's not as well known as the two listed, so I wouldn't expect it in this two fountain tale. So, Genesis it is. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |
