I spent my first week with Vitalogy thinking that "Nothingham" was a clever play on Nottingham from Robin Hood.
On first listen I thought Ed was saying "Spaceman! Spin the black circle!"

This album gets pretty fucking dark at times, team. I'm really digging it, I just wish the first 4 songs were stronger.

:shock: That's a lot of grey days. If you've never dug into the Tortoise discography, now is a fine time to start. Ditto Steve Reich.
I have one Tortoise album that I bought on a lark way back in the day. I should revisit that. I remember liking it well enough but being bummed that it was instrumental. That used to bug me way back when. But I'm way more into non-vocal stuff more now. I should give it a listen.
Which Tortoise album, Joe? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you ever do get to revisit it.
Oh shoot... I forgot to look at home. I'll Google their album covers and see if I can remember which one. Gimme a sec.
