Let me know how it compares with Odin (my favourite Cope record after Jehovahkill).


At the risk of repeating another of my posts on this thread you may need to wait a few years for my opinion!


Ha! It's one of the great tube journey listening albums. That's what converted me to its charms. Got to the point where underground was the place where "Odin" made the most sense. Some of Squid's stuff falls into the same category as does "Catch-Wave" and "August 1974". I play them all above ground but put me on the Northern Line with an iPod and they grow an extra dimension.


You must get to Morden and back listening to Odin! Would like to hear Catch-Wave.


Quite so! I mention the Northern Line as the gloomiest of the lot but it actually sounds pretty good on the new uber modern single-carriage Met Line trains too though I can't say I have ever finished Odin in a single journey. Do either of us have the other's mail addy?


Sorry, missed this - start of term so a hectic start to the week. I don't have your email (if that's a mail addy?) but is it on Mooncat's relatively recent group email and obvious to find?

Been working at home today and Woden arrived. It's different to Odin but sounding great on first couple of plays (though just on my ipod dock speaker so far as I'm working at my computer). In Cope's description he refers to the sentimental mellotrons towards the end, it's actually about 30 mins worth and is gorgeous, with the Yatesbury bells, bird song and some drones as well. It just immediately hit the pit of my stomach. Bliss!
