Should've been used as the movie soundtrack, but as the Tom Cruise movie was so disappointing I guess it's no big deal. Men in Black did the same story much better.

Best not to associate this classic album with anything to do with that Tom Cruise 'effort' really.. they just stole the name.

Fantastic and atmostpheric listening for a dark evening smile

can't wait to see the 'live version' in December smile

Tho' I think the red weed may be taking over my garden !

It is a splendid album and I've enjoyed it since the 1970s. Get yourself along to the live show if you can as it is a great night out.

Have fond memories of this listening to it with my dad on long car journeys, the live show is very good if you like the music.

I used to listen to this on tape in the car when I was a kid, scared the hell out of me, it's a great album though, one of my top ten ever.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Still got the (mint) vinyl copy I bought with my birthday money when I was, I think, about eight or nine. It's only been played once as I didn't own a record player and so my dad put it on tape for me. I also have two copies on CD, because one is never enough! (Or it might be because I lost one and bought it again, only to find the first copy.... D'oh!)
