I've found the discussion of `The Ninth Wave' very interesting. On first
listening I noticed the nightmare/dreamlike quality of the first side. I
was also struck by the change of tone and mood introduced by `The Morning
Fog' and now that I realise the whole side is thematically linked it seems
reasonable to think of this change as indicating the woman's survival,
particularly given the lyrics.

Could someone say some more about `Cloudbusting' with particular reference
to the ideas of Wilhelm Reich? I'm not familiar with his work.
