I simply cannot listen to The Silent Enigma because in my head the music is as much a part of me as it is to the others, except because I was not on the finished album no-one else appreciates that. When I work on music to that intensity that we did it becomes part of me. You are there at the birth and you feel you are a part of that song's life.
Yes, I know that Danny wrote most of it, but it came together and was structured in the studio, with me being totally involved in it (without actually playing any of it).
Lots of it (and songs on later albums) was born on my little acoustic guitar in my room in front of the coal fire. Moody, late-night, drugged-up times between me and Danny! I would fuel Danny up with tales of other dimensions, true stories of worldwide misery, copious amounts of hashish, and we would discuss how to start the revolution through rock and roll, denim and leather. He would respond by coming up with riff after riff and we would already hear the finished tunes in our heads.
Anyway. All the other albums I have heard, I have liked. I think they do sound better when they play heavier, but Electricity is not heavy (in the conventional sense) but is still impressive - in it's sheer simplicity. I find Childhood Dream sickening though. If I hear it by mistake I feel ill.
I think Panic is great, and the tune of Violence during John's blasts gives me emotions almost like I got when I was in the band.
