Those comments are more along the line of what I was looking for. Maybe I still won't "get it", but since the album is so highly regarded, I want to give it another chance. Who knows? If it works, someday I might even revisit "Tubular Bells" or watch "The Fifth Element" again. (Or maybe not.)Aside from the songs connecting aurally, I hadn't considered the possibility of an overarching narrative, nor had I considered the background conversation anything more than sound effects. So I hadn't listened to the entire recording in one sitting. I might give the album a third try when I have some time to listen to it straight through.
Which drugs or alcoholic beverages should I use?
