Slipstream is something special. There is an amazing, haunting, swirling build up near the end with Atkins on the toms and some ethereal chords from Geordie then joined by the keys moving into six 'punches'. When I'm at my most receptive it does something quite amazing to me - perhaps you'd call it a physiological effect. If it was deliberately calculated to do that then I'd say someone knows a thing or two about the secret potential inherent in music.
Song and Dance has a nice building sequence too leading up to Jaz'z primal scream - a joyous moment!

The ones that really strike a chord with me are the ones like "Song And Dance" and "Slipstream." "Slipstream" is just damn beautiful.That guitar riff at the beginning is one of the most perfect things i've ever heard.Nobody can touch that.

this song is (let alone the cryptic legend behind it). It really is a thing
of shimmering, startling beauty, I find. Pity they never properly revisited
it. Geordie's guitar really weaves a glistening web of sound here that flies
defiantly in the face of those who'd write the band off as merely lumpen
doom-merchants. Nevermind "Our Last Goodbye," it's songs like *THIS* that
stop me dead in my tracks.
