Having been scared by the dark aural effects on Dark Side when I was 3 years old to rediscovering it again at 14, then breaking my down my Wall the same year, then making my connection with the Machine the following year, thus began my pink journey, but had experienced Animalistic anger the following year, I knew your romanticised high hopes were dashed as a group, but embraced the growth nonetheless. That romanticism was rediscovered momentarily in 1987 though, and Welcome relief.
Thus we come full circle.
