“I was ten when I heard the music that ended the first phase of my life and cast me hurtling towards a new horizon. Drenched to the skin, I stood on Dunoon’s pier peering seawards through diagonal rain, looking for the ferry that would take me home. There, on the everwet west coast of Scotland, I heard it: like sonic scalpels, the sounds of electric guitars sliced through the dreich weather. My body hairs pricked up like antennae. To my young ears these amplified guitars sounded angelic, for surely no man-made instrument could produce that tone. The singer couldn't be human. His voice was too clean, too pure, too resonant, as though a robot larynx were piping words through vocal chords of polished silver. The overall effect was intoxicating - a storm of drums, earthquake bass, razor-sharp guitar riffs, and soaring vocals of astonishing clarity. I knew that I was hearing the future.”

“Fantasy Landslide by Stewart Stafford
I chased Silver Salmon gleam,
To where Ogre Battles rage,
Mad The Swine guided me to
A Black Queen Stone Cold age.
Seven Seas special brew no-go,
Fat Lover Boys Bit The Dust? Tragic!
Let the Fairy-Fellers take this
Invisible Man to A Kind of Magic.
Bohemian Champions Rock you,
To save your Ga Ga heart again,
To Live Forever? Yes, it’s All Worth It!
The Prophet’s Song flashes true again.
