I Can See Your House From Here by Camel
in their 1979 shape, still shining fine
though taking too many steps from progressive
into pop, sadly enough without Bardens on keyboards
Rediscovered Record # 19:1
by kinda chakra based evaluation
most Whole Soulful song : WHO WE ARE

some pieces in the end are rather questionable (as always)
whether they really belong to progressive rock or something else??
though the upper majority are represented in forums as progarchives
however my definition is dynamic, kind of rhapsodic, longer pieces
in which
rock guitar stuff
use to be balanced
by orchestral or organ-based parts

Continuing of Tomiro's Novaettir Book
Friday 44:th of October 2048
Do you have too much to do, Tomiro?!?! Almost 1/4 of official time is spent expecting how much time you really spend. Seems you never get finished.... Parallell to your work as cave cleaner in our biggest bicycle labyrinth, you control small clouds before they develope chaotic air behaviour. Tonight you succeded relax enough to read two pages in Metro 2033, the sci-fi-novel you found forgotten under "floor corner 8" in our human appartment you lend. The Moscow-based story was created fourty years ago, long before we dissolved Sweden. Exciting whether you will experience it as nostalgia or still futuristic?!?!
Saturday 45:th of October 2048
Finally we've got an upgrade version of your reality to November [named no.00]. It's tailor-made for non-humans, especially easy to use for your 8-fingered sort of people. Nonetheless you seem to be rather satisfied being stuck in October?! These dirty oil-colours, streaming down & upside every kind of street, you find completely cosy?! Like you have no need for Sankta Tomas to come closer.... Or do you fear that our system would lock your senses inside eternal confusion? Tomiro, you must be conscious without us! Well, we won't install no.00 - until you show more clean curiousity or some deeper shame.
Sunday 71:st of Novaettir 2048
Tonight you felt a new signal behind your heavier heartbeats. Afraid some pieces of darkness gonna rain down from space?! Tomiro, why not light up that strange owl on chimney top, becoming your guardian angel?! Rather you crawl deeper inside this mushroomish sofa, under a castle of blankets. Believe you've already written down your recent dreams?! It's we who makes your total recall. While you're snoozing... inbetween movie scenes left from electrified badger brains. Finally we start what humanity would've called November. Immediately we put you faraway through Novaettir, so you've got more time to reflect - at least back upon.

Into The Gap with Thompson Twins
Strangely enough I've never really discovered T.T. until now
Well, what a spiritually joyful band they seem to be
without loosing some robotic coolness
like a balance act between the superficial and deep
or at least a tremedously creative record Into The Gap is!!
Don't know if anything can ooze more of 80's than this??
even if more dance pop than my ordinary taste -
had I heard it contemporarily in -84, I would've loved it
as my Autumn Album # 18:6

most Whole Soulful song : YOU TAKE ME UP
most Introspective Dreamlike song : SISTER OF MERCY

Returning to Costello's masterpiece Imperial Bedroom
Dynamic as hell and heaven, really bitter and really happy, emotionally a bit more complex than the six albums before... still these actual "classical" arrangements makes some pieces the most "pop" Elvis ever has done.
Recorded in October -81. Released in July -82. Discovered by me first -05, deeper -13, now again -18. During -81 the boy I was was rather occupied by discovering Beatles. Only saw Costello on idol cards modern then.
Fantastic work! Produced by Geoff Emerick, who lend a hand to Beatles' post-Pepper records. Cover picture is playing with Picasso's "three musicians", which may represent the band members = The Attractions.
as my Autumn Album # 18:5
by kinda chakra based evaluation
most Whole Soulful song : HUMAN HANDS
["whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt..."]
most Introspective Dreamlike song : BEYOND BELIEF
["through a two-way looking glass you see your Alice"]
most Expressively Amusing song : AND IN EVERY HOME
["sliding down the banisters in your Sunday suit"]
most Beautifully Lovable song : A LONG HONEY MOON
["there's no money back guarantee on future happiness"]
most Mighty Strongfelt song : THE LOVED ONES
["we break wise guys just like matches"]

["you do something very special to Mr. Average"]
most Survive-Struggling song : SHABBY DOLL

Above and Below everyone : TOWN CRYER
["just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt"]
also the fast bonus version becomes greatest contrast
Even More Above and Even More Below everyone : MAN OUT OF TIME

Harder to grasp for me is why he/they have put almost every slower, melancholic or harsh tune on the A-side - and almost every faster, bouncy or spiritual song on the B-side!! Surely I experience some moods differently than other listeners, but anyhow potential reasons :
Maybe it gives a strange kind of (un)balance? Or he/they prefered a clearly divided album? Or just created them in that order? Or intended to lead from despair up to joy in a longer process? Or to reward the audience who survived the first side?

Beginning of Tomiro's Never Ending October Book
stories built by 100 words for each diary page
Saturday 31:st of October 2048
Hello, Tomiro! Today you played with some other vaettir. You went out in the swedish streets, where almost no humans live anymore. Many houses miss their doors and windows, so your friends believe they can visit anyone's appartment. Summer has suddenly come back, making it too hot to stay inside your cave. Here those angelic seagulls move air and dust around. You've been told to jump from shadow to shadow, but some little longer sun glimpses won't hurt?? Tomiro, the older vaettir knows more than you think!! However they haven't grasped yet how many humans really died in last tornado.
Sunday 32:nd of October 2048
Good evening, Tomiro! Today you discovered more traces of this Earth's growing ending ...or what you believe to be destructive. Mushrooms have begin intertwining themselves with books and even smartphones left after dead cities. Monstruous flies pretend to be weak, then eat up swollen spiders too lazy to crawl away. Close to a castle you saw Big Ants' Parade collecting human gold for their church. You don't know whether that's a perverted or progressive sign. Today was less hot than yesterday - so we hope you vaettir people will catch classical autumn inbetween?! Though tonight Sweden dives fast, facing ice again.
Monday 33:rd of October 2048
This frosty morning you saw some kind of nuclear robot?!? It just stood there, outside the never closed food store, and stared at you!?! Tomiro, we think you felt that creature was of russian heritage - and had something clearly mystical to do with the disappearance of humans, in parallell to these ordinary tornados. So you didn't dare fixing some breakfast... but strolled around from museum to museum of every half-empty kind, which during human times were closed on mondays... until early evening when your vaettir companions made a party of today's collected treasures. Tonight the summer warmth has come back.

The Original Soundtrack by 10cc
Gouldman, Stewart, Godley, Creme 1975
Without being a film score, but maybe pretending it is...
Like a good movie this album has a great bit of everything : Humour, Beauty, Thrill, Drama, Philosophy, Form, Mystery.

most Whole Soulful song : THE FILM OF MY LOVE
most Introspective Dreamlike song : BRAND NEW DAY
most Expressively Amusing song : UNE NUIT A PARIS (part 1), THE SAME NIGHT IN PARIS (part 2), LATER THE SAME NIGHT IN PARIS (part 3)
most Beautifully Lovable song : I'M NOT IN LOVE
most Mighty Strongfelt song : LIFE IS A MINESTRONE
most Sexy Teasing song : BLACKMAIL
most Survive-Struggling song : THE SECOND SITTING FOR THE LAST SUPPER
Above or Below everyone (my favourite piece now) : FLYING JUNK
Reminds me most of :
A Night at The Opera with Queen
A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing with Sparks
Breakfast in America with Supertramp
Took me at least ten years before experiencing this to be their most rich record... felt more immedite for Deceptive Bends -77 and Bloody Tourists -78. Believed just Gouldman & Stewart did really nice, but now realise how great role Godley & Creme must have played for the experimental drive as well as big (satiric) ambition.

A Night at The Opera with Queen
A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing with Sparks
Breakfast in America with Supertramp
Took me at least ten years before experiencing this to be their most rich record... felt more immedite for Deceptive Bends -77 and Bloody Tourists -78. Believed just Gouldman & Stewart did really nice, but now realise how great role Godley & Creme must have played for the experimental drive as well as big (satiric) ambition.
