eBay is a hobby; it could be a day (or more) before I reply to questions — I don’t own a ‘smart’ phone. and am often away from a computer. I frequently sell to non-UK eBayers, & make sure that the recycled packaging is to a good standard

I recently heard 'Won't get fooled again', a track off this album, and although I've heard it over the years, it really struck me this time as a really great track. So, I decided to buy the album. And there's that brilliant first track that's been sampled a lot: 'Baba O'Reily' - so this is where it comes from!! I thought it went under another title - Teenage Wasteland - as those words are repeated in the songs lyrics.
Rated to be one of the best Who albums by some, I am rediscovering old numbers and also listening out for 'mad' Keith Moon's drumming knowing what a self-destructive reputation he has.
The remastered CD has a 20 page booklet that's full of good info too.

Well worth listening to again
I'd not heard this album, that came out in 2000, for perhaps a decade. I dismissed much of it at the time, partly as it was associated for me with the Millennium hype. However, 10+ years on the music and songs are haunting, moving, varied.
There are two versions of this album; the one I refer to is the main edition -- the other is the limited edition that has a slightly different track list.
I came across the song "Father, Son" on a compilation, not remembering that it came from "ovo" and thought the lyrics poignant; reflecting the father, son relationship that alters over time. A touch sentimental yet I like that!
I recently came across a mini-disk recording of the CD I made around the year 2000. Re-listening to it had me wanting to get the CD for best quality.

I came across "Light Through The Veins" whilst searching for a certain kind of music: few or no lyrics, electronic and 'real' instruments, slight 'classical' sound, repetitive beats yet with movement and was intrigued by the title, then the sound of this track - released as a single with 2 other versions.
I really liked "Light Through The veins" - such an apt title as it moves from a simple riff reminding me of "Close Encounters" / spaceship signals to more layers coming in and building up a sense of lightness over a period of some minutes. As this track was so good I got the album to hear more from this UK composer who I had not come across before. I haven't been disappointed though the initial introduction is still my favourite. Overall, an interesting approach to, what is classified as "electronica". Simple melody that builds with a variety of beats, from rock to drum'n'bass sounds. Gentle melodies to savage beats and sounds.
