Nobody so far has commented on this psychedelic classic from the very short-lived Dantalian's Chariot? I've heard it said that this is just another break-up song, about a man explaining his breakdown to a friend after the collapse of a relationship. More likely, this is the mixed aftermath of a first trip- feelings of ecstasy and of profound revelation in conflict with anxiety that one has lost one's mind. Superb eerie keyboard effects and lead vocal by Zoot Money (soon to join Eric Burdon and The New Animals, who covered this song) and alternately arpeggiated and clanging guitar from Andy Summers, who went on to the Soft Machine and a brief stint also with The Animals before finding fame in the late '70s and the guitarist third of the trio The Police.
