*vomits*

In other news, I'm having trouble coming up with an opening for my novel. A bunch of the meat is written but an intro has proved to be a challenge. What do you guys think of this:

                There exists a crawl space of sorts in the minds of every being. It is rarely ever explored but nonetheless there, consisting of old memories either forgotten because of irrelevance or too much relevance. Most everyone chooses to ignore it completely.

                In that crawl space however, exists an entity which humans think they are aware of but really aren’t. That entity is ourselves. It is every aspect of human life, our consciousness, our physical existence as well as our imaginations. All of which intertwine more than anyone knows or is willing to admit.

                One man stepped, perhaps accidently, into this crawl space. The events which took place during this journey are well documented and give us a valuable understanding of just what the crawl space consists of. Perhaps we’ll be driven to make further investigations. Perhaps we’ll become fearful of it.

                Nonetheless, this man, Carl’s walk (or for lack of a better term, stumble) through the crawl space is presented here for the everyman’s viewing. Delve into it at your wish.

Sounds similar to the ending of the French film Martyrs (which I highly recommend). I think "minds" in the first sentence should be "mind", otherwise it implies that every being has more than one mind, which is a cool thought.

I like it, but I'm no authority on literature.

You bet your ass they do.

The first few minutes of Wide Open Sea rivals Starless.

Andy actually turned me onto them in LR. I was reluctant at first, but now the first song he showed me is my all-time favorite of theirs.

I think they're cool because they pull of a symph prog sound without sounding cheesy at all. Their music sounds like epic mellow pop.

Would I like them, q.m.

One of the biggest reasons why I never listened is because their name is really dumb.

I'm not surely really. 

I'd listen to their EP Far Skies Deep Time - to get a good sense of their styles, then move onto Underfall Yard. After that - The Difference Machine.
