[mobyboy]

this album has the most beautiful ballads of LPD !

[TheFaggothead]

@mobyboy what is the album???!!? i love these guys, but there are so many ><

[mobyboy]

this is a dutch band , now moved to usa. they had so many albums in the 80's. this is one of the best at my opinion. people describe them as the electronic versia of Pink Floyd

[TheFaggothead]

@mobyboy Yayay, I was reading about them ,but what is the specific album this is off? ;D

@TheFaggothead The Maria Dimension

[stlkr]

[SatansPath666]

Wow, I usually go 6 months to a year without watching this, and when I put it on it always hits me like a tragic memory. I miss those days, youth, exploring myself - with the help of music like this.

[Sebastiankap]

[mobyboy]

@fabiodorazi almost sounds like Eurovision :)

[aciasteczko]

to był jeden z ulubionych zespołow Beksińskiego. Znał ich i oni znali jego osobiście. Choć ten kawałek się trochę zestarzał to gdzieś chodza jego super koncertowe wersje, które beksa puszczał dosyć często..

[mdworzan]

To była moja pierwsza ich płyta - pamiętam jak nagrywałem ją z audycji Beksińskiego chyba w 8 klasie podstawówki. To były już jedne z ostatnich audycji Wieczoru Płytowego. Beksińskiego nigdy nie zapomnę! Zaszczepił mi na całe życie miłość do tej drugiej strony muzyki, ukrytej gdzieś za zasłoną mało znanych szerszemu ogółowi dźwięków. Chłopie... Zrobiłeś wiele dobrego dla mnie i dla masy innych którzy kochali Twój głos! Mam nadzieję, że tam gdzie teraz jesteś, nie cierpisz za swój ostatni czyn.

[Lux019]

When i was young and was forced to hear the music of my older brother i remember that "pulse" at 2,42 always scares me.

They touch to something in this one.

[itchyswellingbrain]

wonderful song. to my opinion their best. is this about a cocktail? if yes these lyrics make me curious to taste it.

[badfae]

Nope. It's about atropa belladonna, the plant--also known as deadly nightshade, a known hallucinogen and pretty effective way to kill yourself.

[itchyswellingbrain]

This was also my interpretation through all those years but now after reading the complete lyrics i somehow doubt it. especially the term ice cool shaken not stirred corresponds to cocktails and there does exist a cocktail named belladonna. and the words wash the day away as well let me rather think of alcohol not of a deadly poison drink. and at last: look at the colour of this cocktail - seablue marshmellow eyes.

[badfae]

You may be right! I'll have to look into it :)

[Placement93]

The belladonna plant was so called because "bella donna" means "pretty lady" and atropine, one of it's main alkaloids causes pupil dilation, so tinctures were made into eyedrops that women thought to enhance their beauty.

[AndyTheNihil]

Yeah mate...munching Belladonna isn't a pretty sight...slightly similar to peyote actually...had a little adventure with both back in the early 90's (too much reading Castaneda)..man that was an ill trip. Glad I came back in one piece. Still a great tune don't you think :-)
