I definitely agree. I made the "mistake" of listening to it this morning, and
now I cannot get Emlyn's sonorous voice out of my head. I marched up along
the grey and rainy streets towards the Institute hearing the music driving me

transhumanity there is something far more compelling with hearing music like
'Alive'.
