Revision as of 04:04, 26 June 2013

Comments

• Skytree posted the following:
  • "Gemini": track one
  • "Gemini": May 21 - June 20
  • Dredging up of the subconscious mind.
  • This past weekend saw the last of three eclipses of 2013 (until the Fall), ending in "Gemini".
  • Music Has The Right To Children: "Aquarius". Both "Aquarius" and "Gemini" are air signs.
  • Much of BoC's video imagery involves flying through the air.
  • -- end transmission -- ^[1]
• I read a review (sorry, someone else needs to edit this post to properly cite the reference) noting that Gemini are twins, and suggesting that separation (or invisible, maybe inevitable) connections might be a recurring Tomorrow's Harvest theme. (e.g., Split Your Infinities, Last Rites Of Spring/"Twin gods of death at the end of the tunnel", Beckett's Ghost Trio, Virgil's Aeneid, & Dante's Divine Comedy)
  • Many others' comments focus on palindromes, suggesting cycles in the tracks' sequence.
  • Elsewhere, I suggested listening to the tracks in reverse order (see Semena Mertvykh). But I just read the Tomorrow's Harvest XLR8R review, so now I'm going to experiment with the kind of book-end/spiral sequences suggested there:
    • Gemini
    • Semena Mertvykh
    • Reach For The Dead
    • Come To Dust
    • White Cyclosa
    • New Seeds
    • Jacquard Causeway
    • Sundown
    • Telepath
    • Nothing Is Real
    • Cold Earth
    • Uritual
    • Transmisiones Ferox
    • Split Your Infinities
    • Sick Times
    • Palace Posy
    • Collapse
    • And it's remarkable. For example, I never noticed just how similar Sundown & Telepath are until I heard them side by side. In this order, the entire sequence ends with Collapse, which leaves me feeling unresolved. And so much for "low" vs. "upbeat" halves.
