(Comments: Removed John Clay quote. We don't need song synopses; since when is this about making BoC cliff's notes?)
(Comments: Not about Gemini. Please stop copy/pasting twoism posts. Rewrite for the wiki using objective, technical language. Thank you.)

* 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.

**Elsewhere, I suggested listening to the tracks in reverse order (see [[Semena Mertvykh]]). But I just read the Tomorrow's Harvest [http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2013/06/deep-inside-boards-canada-tomorr 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.
