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!
