Un testament de la noirceur passée et à venir, en nous et partout, un disque prémonitoire, une épopée sublime et cassante.
Certainement pas un disque d'avant-garde, car tous sont inéluctablement dépassés, sauf justement...

Un disque unique.
Un diamant noir au coeur de lumière, et inversement.

Indépassable.

Paroles de Peter Blegvad, musique by John Greaves

(Who?)
We who knew no woe
We who were her hero
(When?)
When we were on her knee
When we knew her
When were were one
(Where?)
Kew.Rhône.
We won renown
(How?)
We were her worker
We won honor enow
When we knew her
When we were one
Where?
Kew.Rhône.

Not a set animal, laminates
Laminates a tone of
A set animal
Animal, laminates
A set animal
Animal, laminates
Laminates a tone of sleep
A tone of sleep

Peel's foe
Not a set animal
Laminates a tone of sleep
