The Great Nothing
I respectfully withdraw all of my previous posts that put down Spock's Beard's "The Great Nothing" as an overblown epic. What a wonderful piece. Maybe the biorhytms were just right tonight.

I've always liked the rest of "V", just not TGN. But now the change of heart pushes it past "Beware of Darkness" as my favorite Beard record.

All apologies to the Nothing lovers (mainly Dot Lee and Poda IIRC).
