if you ask me. I'm not sure I'm totally on board with it.

Where the hell did the testosterone and the rest of this come from? A lyric in the songs? It certainly can't be ascertained from the album title.

I don't know where siLLypuPPy got all his explanation from. I know the lyrics quite well, and I don't think it's from there. But on the cover is written:

"The fusion of Hydrogen nuclei to form Helium nuclei is the basic exothermic reaction in the sun and stars, and hence is the prime energy source in the univers."

The first thing that came to my mind from this thread was Tales from Topographic Oceans... though it's actually more because of the names of the songs than the name of the album itself.

Edit:

I find the title quite poetic itself: topographic kind of oceans? and tales from oceans? - that seems rather mysterious to me.

I'm surely not an expert on poetry, but I came to think of Caravan's In the Land of Grey and Pink (1971) as a very poetic album title, "grey" representing melancholy and "pink" representing psychedelia - both are of course very present in the music and lyrics, for not to mention the cover!

Can you think of another album title like that?

of course there is a naughty allusion in the album title again

I think, you're very probably right in that, even I might not agree with "naughty". Smile

Anyway, there are certainly erotic references in the song Love to Love You, but I wonder if they're male homosexual.

I don't know if it's "poetic", but Edit Peptide is a palindrome.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

It looks very poetic to me, too.

Can you maybe tell some more about it?

The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack

cleverly made up from the band members has that feeling of the memoirs of a jaded eastern European chap who has seen it all , done it all and is ready for an extended rest.

Poetic album titles?

“It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobbledstreets silent and the hunched courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea.”
