Anytime I think of that album, I immediately think of the guitar production... An odd spot to me is the beginning to Jack Luminous; You'd think in a somewhat more typical scenario that the bass would be more dry and a little louder in the mix, while the guitar would have more reverb and etherial mixing to it, whereas it's the exact opposite on this track - Bass is in an airplane hangar and distant, the odd guitar bits are very present and loud. Knowing that Away and Piggy put a lot of thought into this sort of thing, I'm thinking that this was a very calculated and intentional thing, doing the polar-opposite of the industry standard. And why not, it's also outrageously long, making it that much more contrary! It's *easily* one of my very fave VOIVOD tunes ever. There's nothing about it that I don't like, and everything about it that I do.  Quite a bit of riffology going on in this album, much more so than the albums after Snake's return. The Eric era has its own subset for writing of course. Ok, enough of my bla bla bla. All the best,
