This is a review. NOT BY ME! About what supposedly, actually, happens when you listen to the album 'Further'. Enjoy.

Quote

This is a fairly long review, so if you don't wanna waste your time to read it. Here is my opinion in short: AWESOME!


Snow

As mentioned by the Official review, preview (does that make sense?) we start with a morse code sound. It is as if we are receiving coordinates from Tom and Ed to find the great gig in the sky. Out of nowhere you hear someone sing, "your love keeps lifting me". To your surprise its an angel. Goosebumps immediately start forming on the surface of your arms. The angel takes your hand and leeds you. Triumphant sounds play in the back round and her lovely lullaby keeps you at ease. She escorts you to the road you need to travel. Eventually, it's time to say goodbye, and her voice goes silent in the distance.


Escape Velocity

For no known reason, you have the urge to run. As you run you feel the world is staying at a stand still, much like running on a treadmill. All of a sudden a black Vortex appears in the distance. You feel threatened, and want to run the other direction. As hard as you try, you can't get distance from yourself and the vortex. By the time you look back, the black hole is nearly upon you. Out of desperation you jump in the air, but reluctantly get sucked into what is now a tunnel of flashing lights. You have no control of your movements and are floating. You assume that your moving in a forwardly direction, because of the movement of the lights pulsating by you. At this point you feel like you've lost your fucking mind. You shut your eyes in attempt to make the madness go away. You are able to keep your composure and decide to reopen them. The moment you open your eye lids, you feel like you've been shot out of a cannon and into warp speed, as lights go flying by you. Strange imagery of Scrooge McDuck and the cast member of 'Ducktales' starts to appear, creating a total mind fuck. You start to wonder if this will ever stop, and what the fuck does all this mean. Just as you end that thought, you seem to slow down and move upon a small green glowing silhouette. You come to a complete stop and somehow able to walk on air. As you move forward towards this green glowing object it turns around and reveals itself. To your surprise its Gumby! He smiles and speaks to you "Well, that was some experience. Now just let me just adjust the spacial controls, and will move to another observation point." He then slides away on one foot, just like in the claymation cartoon.


Another World

Suddenly, the lights turn on and you find yourself upon a cloud high in the sky. You look over the edge and see Earth. You gasp at its beauty. You begin to hear a drum symbol being smacked. After each smack a new cloud appears filling the sky with those wonderful fluffy whites. The cloud you stand on starts moving amongst the other clouds. The setting sun shines through, creating breathtaking colors. Strangely, the clouds start to take form of a women's face. She starts to sing "Another world will surround me." It's the angels voice from earlier! But right after gracing us with her lovely voice, she reforms back into puffy clouds.


Dissolve

Magically, a hit of LSD appears in your hand. You take it.


Horse Power

Some how you wind up at home eating fried chicken and you find yourself watching TV. A red horse appears on the TV picture. For some reason you have the urge to say "Horse Power" repeatedly. You think to yourself "holy shit ,this ain't no horse! This is Pokey from Gumby! (what a coincidence, especially from earlier!)" He bucks and neighs loudly. There is a massive beat playing in the back round of the show, and at this point you're feeling like you wanna dance. First, you stretch so that you don't pull any muscles. You then take off your shoes and start to strut your stuff. Your timing is impeccable, a Phat Acid break kicks in and you go fucking ape. Unfortunately, the program only last 5 minutes and 51 seconds and abruptly finishes. You think to yourself, "mother fucking horse power, yo"

Swoon

You settle yourself down after some mad dancing. You switch the channel on TV and a whaling synth sound catches your attention. Typically, you don't care for love stories but the enchanting lyrics from the song "remember to fall in love, there is nothing else" touch home. You recently lost a "Betty" to one of your closest mates, you absolutely don't need this now. The TV program shows a girl that reminds you of that one that got away. Shit! You can't block your feelings for her, out of your head. Your eyes start to water. Fuck! you really don't need this now. "Man up Chappy, you'll get through this" you say to yourself. Too late, you start crying like a little baby. Jesus Christ.


K+D+B

You decide to cheer yourself up and go to the beach. There is a bitch load of seagulls about a 1/2 mile down. You enjoy the bright and summery weather. You glance back at the seagulls and see a small child feeding the birds some bread. You think to yourself, "aww, how cute". Eventually the small child runs out of bread and becomes bored. He decides its a good idea to chase the seagulls. Easily startled, the seagulls take flight to the sky to escape the annoying young child. They group up in the air and put on an amazing arial display. You notice they start to fly closer and and closer to your position on the beach. You now remember that the same seagulls just ate but moments ago. FUCK! You pick up your shit and and run for the dunes. "Higher, Higher, Higher and Higher" you go up the ancient piles of sediment. But its too late, they're right on your trail and carving the sky above you. PLOP! Seagull doodoo hits you right in the face. In disgust you yell " Ewwwww! I got the poo on me!" Thankfully, there is awesome tunnage coming from the ghetto blaster nearby.


Wonders of The Deep

You nearly barf from the rancid smell that sits on your face from the seagull feces fiasco. You make a made dash for the water. You take a deep breath and dive in. Once you're fully submerged, time suddenly slows down at a sloth like pace. There is underwater creatures everywhere you look. You notice a great blue whale in the distance slowly coming closer and .... Wait, never mind, scratch that , this isn't "The Test." Actually, when you dove in the water you found another loop hole in which teleported you under a floating garbage island in the Pacific. Knives, forks, birdcages, shoes and old telephones dropped on top of you as you tried to swim to the surface. But you struggle mightily. Debris falling everywhere. A fish in the distance swims your way. Remarkably, you're able to speak to him. The fish mentions that he is a salmon named Sammy. He starts rambling on about useless salmon facts. You start panicking cause your nearly out of air and struggling to reach the surface. You point upwards and to your cheeks, to notify Sammy that you need oxygen now! Sammy is an expert at charades, so he quickly understood. He teaches you an ancient technique called the "Salmon Dance" to get your sorry ass out of the water. The technique works flawlessly! But suddenly, once your about 10 feet from the surface, time slows down again! Fuck! You're now desperately afraid that you will drown. However, something is strange is happening to you. You dont feel right. You feel lighter. You feel more buoyant. No, your not dying. What could it be? Closer and closer you get to the surface. That much needed air is now only inches away! You finally, break the surface, and gasp for oxygen to fill your lungs. You close your eyes and shake break bounce the excess water of your face. You open your eyes to a clean, calm, crystal clear water. The water ripples subside around your body and you catch a reflection of yourself. Holy crap! You're a hot chick!



Told you this album is fucking awesome.

5/5 glints!

That is quite simply an awesome review! I had to LoL at a few parts in there. Particularly after the long trippy discriptions followed by this:

That was hilarious!

I was thinking weeks back of making a topic in homage to the Japanese reviews Tom & Ed mentioned during watn, of how poetic and interesting they were, thinking we could all review it in obscure descriptions too, but this persons review will top them all I'm sure..

Tom and Ed figured out how to perform sexual reorientation therapy through this album. Another first for science!
though I must agree. A magical hit of LSD did get into my system via oral and visual delight. Damn T & E you just blew my mind....if i had a mind.

Oral? You mean audial, right?

Because I don't think the headphones are supposed to go in your mouth. :wink:

Seriously Bosco, who wrote this, I need a name so that for the next few years I can reference this person by name when the topic of fried chicken and watching tv come up!

audial = aural

Actually audial is a better term because aural can pertain to an aura as well.



But really, whoever wrote this deserves a free drink and a place on this forum - it's genius!
