“But for Alan McCulloch, my musical preferences might have been entirely different. At the age of 13 & a bit, when I was seriously introduced to the wunnerful world of toons, via the just released Dark Side of the Moon, the answer was prog, what was the question? Now, had all of this business occurred 18 months later, I'm pretty sure I'd have been a Roxy-ist. How do I know? Simples. If this is a prime example of the stuff Byron & da' boys were churning out, I'd have bought in, with undue haste. Funny thing is, I've never listened to Country Life from start to finish. I know, I have no idea what the heck I've been doing, either. So, a wee prog site I follow on Twitcher, had this track on their playlist & although it ain't intrinsically prog, surely there's more than enough goin' on, for the most ardent rockist...& of course, there's the er, 'artistic' sleeve. As for Alan, well he set my compass to Floyd & the rest is schoolboy prog history. Appears I still have some catching up to do...”
