Thanks for the cheering message. It's amazing that the two composers don't
acknowledge Hope to be their best work. I listened to it closely this weekend,
perhaps more closely than ever before as an adult. Conclusion: It's the finest
artistic work of any kind, ever. Seriously.

And to this day it yields new revelations. Never realized before the particular
brilliance of the cosmic debris description in So Said the Lighthouse Keeper.
?
Beware all ships
The space graveyard
And its stones of asteroids
?
From the image of cosmic debris we get the jarring metaphor of a "space
graveyard" furthered by the notion of its headstones acting as menacing
obstacles.
?
And you know that if we tried, we could break down the entire album to yield
innumerably similar gems.

??? Dee played all those lead guitar parts on Prelude, but Hope isn`t his
favorite album either. He admits that symphonic rock isn`t his thing but will
also say that the song "Hope" is one of his all time favorite tunes.
