In my opinion (without doubts or uncertainties), it's a great album that can immediately touch your heart. Suitable for being listened to and appreciated in various contexts. The music possesses sensitivity, depth, and a particular melancholy. Curiosity (for those interested). The beautiful surreal cover was created by Michael Trevithick. Under the missile, it says Lan Apollo (I used a lens to read the inscription). My version is the 24 Bit Super Bit Mapped mastering by S. Heyworth (who also handled the remaster of the KC works - 30th Anniversary Edition). Original and poetic review (nice nickname, it reminds me of Latimer's group and the programmer Minter with his 'crazy' creations). End of comment (lunar).

Well done.
In my opinion, it's a good album, at times a bit too slow; unfortunately, it’s not a masterpiece.
It lacks the exuberance and inspiration of "McFly," oops..."Nightfly."
But we all know time passes...even if Fagen's voice remains unique.
Perhaps Fagen's excessive care and compositional refinement has 'weighed down' the work overall.
The lyrics of the tracks are always well-crafted and original.
Excellent: "Snowbound," "On the Dunes," and "Springtime."
Not to forget the peculiar video of "Snowbound."
If I remember correctly, it’s structured with excellent effects of infinite progression perspectives.
It's a small gem of animation.

Supportive Sci-Fi Commentary 1.0.
Dear Bartle: "2022: The Survivors," I remember it 'well enough.'
I had recorded it on the usual VHS tapes, but now I no longer have it (!?!).
It's a good movie, although some parts are a bit slow.
In my opinion, it's a film worth watching because it makes you think about issues that are still relevant today.
The premise is sci-fi, but not too much.
If I’m not mistaken, there was a scene where an old man used bicycle pedals to generate power, somewhat like flashlights that store energy by manually cranking a dynamo (free energy, no batteries).
The protagonist is the enduring 'ciarton eston.'
There are many topics covered, but there’s one that is shocking...(not so much in our times).
The story is based on a novel by H. Harrison (I haven’t read it).
Harrison is an important writer.
From him, I’ve read: "The Stars in Your Hands" (valid) and "The City of the Aztecs" (almost a masterpiece), if I’m not mistaken, the concept was inspired by "Universe" by Heinlein.

Jules Verne 20.000 Leghe Sotto I Mari

Dear Hetzer: excellent 'catch-up' and beautifully written... but also no! H. G. Wells a follower of Verne? (!?!). I. Watson could be a follower of Wells, but Wells is no one's follower and never will be (lightning, thunder, and marine storms!). It's not just about temporal matters. Among the founding fathers of modern sci-fi, alongside Verne, there is definitely Wells (no ifs, ands, or buts), and let's not forget the inventor Hugo Gernsback. It was the latter who coined the term science-fiction and founded the first American sci-fi magazine (Amazing Stories). In the 1911 novel titled Ralph (Supermaxihero?) 124C41+, there are a vast number of accurate predictions: fluorescent lighting, flying advertisements, fiberglass furniture, hydroponic crops, magnetic recording, automated packaging, juke boxes, stainless steel, microfilm instead of newspapers, television (he also invented this term), videophones, vending machines for drinks and food (oh yeah!), broadcasting (continues...). Not by chance, in his memory, the famous Hugo Award for sci-fi was created. Wells in his novels never (or almost never) made predictions about the future; he anticipated possible and probable evolutions/devolutions of what was already happening in the surrounding world. Therefore, the 'real license' of founding father of sci-fi belongs to...(drum roll from Bruford) Wells! However, the Steampunk genre owes much in atmosphere to Verne's work "Paris au XXe Siècle," which remained unpublished for a long time because the publisher P. Jules Hetzel (reminds me...) considered it too unsettling and futuristic. Among the great French writers, I would like to mention J. Spitz with the masterpiece "L'occhio del Purgatorio," a disconcerting story. For now, a valid 'aquatic' setting novel that comes to mind is the excellent "Incontro nell'abisso" by J. White. Among the many films about '20,000 Leagues', I want to mention the good movie with 'kork daglas'. The first non-animated production from 'wolt disnei' (the director of this film also made "Fantastic Voyage" and "2022: The Survivors"). I own the first two, transferred to DVD from old Betamax... oops! VHS tapes. I have to go; Dr. Quatermass is waiting for me, who for once is not late. Aquatic regards ©.

Thank you all for the comments and compliments.
Especially to the Editor who took the time to correctly adjust the chemical formulas of water, benzene, and toluene.
I like it; it's friendly and original this novelty ascoltala/lo.
It's a useful idea that enriches the site by expanding its potential.
Well done! I'm always in favor of new options and innovations.
A special greeting to dear Hell.

Well, look who we have here.
Well! Actually, it's who we listen to...
I must admit that BJH is a band I've always liked, especially for the musical and creative synergy of the musicians.
They possess a considerable elegance, and often the tracks are dreamy and engaging.
Their compositions can be both incisive and melancholic.
It's a band I would like to explore more...
Great to listen to even (at low volume) while reading a good book.
Among my favorite tracks are "Berlin" and "Kiev," and spine-chilling "Mockingbird" from "Glasnost."
I've noticed that often on the album covers (some very beautiful and colorful) there is a butterfly (it's also a symbol of metempsychosis).
In my opinion, the writing is meticulous and well-crafted, perhaps too much so, because it somewhat takes away the pleasure of the potential listening.

Thank you all for the beautiful comments (a bëlo to everyone), even if (virtually) a bit late. Aside from my personal interest in the topic, it's clear that opinions are divided regarding a mission to explore Mars. Perhaps around 2030, a mission will take place on Martian soil... I just hope it won't all be a hoax, like what happened in the movie "Capricorn One" (anyone remember it?). As usual, though, these are decisions and projects that will be carried out by the 'powers that be'... Earthly and Martian greetings ©.
Douglas R. Hofstadter Concetti Fluidi e Analogie Creative

Thanks to the lovely Panico (as always), Omaha and Lazy 84.
Alia76, you certainly know many topics about which I know nothing.
Each of us tries to understand as much as possible, as long as we are given the chance.
Throughout life, we attempt to learn... but these are just fragments of knowledge...
Sometimes you learn more through practice than through books.
Dear Zaireeka, I have read "The Self from the Mind" by Dennet & Hofstadter.
I haven't read "Consciousness," but if you liked it, let me know.
As for the book in question "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies," it requires quite a bit of concentration.
My advice is that you shouldn't 'tackle' it all at once, but rather take your time and engage with it passionately.
Best regards ©.

Bravo Anatas (master metal).
Queensrÿche are an excellent band, especially when they create concept albums.
Thanks to their grandeur, solemnity, and unpredictability, they often stand a notch above other groups (ahem! I won't name names).
They stand out for their solid sound, without indulging in the classic & lengthy instrumental solos.
Geoff Tate certainly possesses an extraordinary voice, giving chills with "Someone Else?" (the version without the full band).
I had "Operation: Mindcrime" on vinyl, but one fateful night my basement flooded and took away a good amount of things (tvs, books, and records)...
I don't know this album (great cover), but you talk about it so enthusiastically that...
I own: "Promised Land" (excellent, without a doubt, the Remastered version), "Hear in the Now Frontier" (the booklet is original), "Empire," and "Mindcrime at the Moore."
