As soon as I saw my glorious robe, with its sparkling splendor of colors, the Glory looked like me. I saw it in every part of me, and I saw myself in every part of it. Spurred on by love, I ran toward it, and wrapped it entirely around me. And my father the king received me with gladness. —HYMN OF THE PEARL, XVI, XVII-XX
lyrics
And now we come back to the place we began. It’s not the same, but then I’m not the same man. And now we come back— ...Here come the nobles, holding out my robe, sliding over my shoulders, making me whole, making me whole. Radiant is the soul of the world, full of beauty and splendor. Radiant is the soul of the world, full of life, full of treasure. Rapture and glory, that’s all I see as the veil pulls back and the leaves unfurl. Rapture and glory, oh that’s all that’s real. Make me feel it, come on make me feel it. Radiant is the soul of the world, full of beauty and splendor. Radiant is the soul of the world, full of life, full of treasure.

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days. OPAL

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
