Doesn't somebody say something about all proceeds from "SPecies..." going to support the conservation work being done by "our hardworking mates" in the outback? Or something to that effect? "Species", (and esp. Pictures) definitely gets right in your face in a sparse and jagged kind of way, but I've acquired a taste for it. A very brilliant piece of work, IMO. BTW Hey Henry, nice to see you weren't permanently lost in cyber space!  :) cheers,  bruce in calgary

the destruction of Australian Rain Forests (plant and animal life).
Watch for the chain saw moving through the tree with saw dust
colorized to look like blood. ;-) On the other hand, Pictures may be
about the efforts of people to save the rain forests, or may be meant
to try to inspire people to be activists and attain the 'critical
mass' needed to save the rain forests.

}Well, not really. Blossom & Blood is explicitly about Hiroshima,

}been so long since I've listened to it that I can't remember what
}it's about.
