Hunted By A Freak does sorta convey the overall feel of HSFHP. Mogwai Fear Satan or Like Herod, however, may be the coolest song titles on this side of Don Cab, and I think Mogwai is a great band name (Cantonese for Satan I believe), so the guys from Mogwai are REALLY gifted music-title-makers. ------------- "I cannot grasp the concept of love, for I am a pickle!" -Neurotarkus I create musics.

Quote:
It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea. The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine to-night in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat there in the muffled middle by the pump and the town clock, the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds. And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now.

UFO Tofu - Bela Fleck (get it?) Apart from that, I think all my favorite titles are metal ones, like: Pierced From Within, Altars of Madness, Transylvanian Hunger, Tetragrammatical Astigmata, A Dead Poem, In the Nightside Eclipse, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, Sad Wings of Destiny, Traced In Air. My favorite one though, and this requires the album cover to complete the effect, is "How to measure a planet?"

 Very precise indication of what the album contains - I like that. "More songs about buildings and food" is another one.. |

 And the "Larks' Tongues" could be an ingredient in that dish. For some reason, wheneve I heard that title, I always thought of a group of larks with their tongues all tied together.

I knew what aspic was. And the mention makes me kick myself for not mentioning that album in my list.  |
