As an aside I notice on the cover the silhouette of a figure hanging from the tree.. by the neck! Odin? Surely not! 9 days hanging ON the tree maybe... Is there a mythical reference I'm missing? Is this artistic license? or just misconception? Seems a bit crass.
Perhaps a case of Revolutionary Suicide.
Yes that's woden/odin hanging on that there tree, get your moment right and get ready to go deep.
Being ready is right! Despite my resolve to not rush it I stuck in on in the car as I drove over the Mendip hills a few hours ago.
That's brave playing it in the car (though I suppose if it was 1st listen...). I just played it whilst having a bath, ended up sitting in cold water after drifting round all the beautiful places in the cheviots I know (probably as unlike Waden Hill and all these derivations of Woden, I was thinking of the hill in the Cheviots, still with the original Woden name).
Now where's that post about the best mellotron tracks...
