but also to some extent by
Werner Herzog's version of the same theme filmed in
1979.
The Black plague also appeared on a compilation in 2005 called Peace Frog Conquer The World, so this is a remastered and partially re-edited version of that recording.

together to form one continuous track. Behind this vast project was the Italian label Oggetti Volanti Non Identificati (led by Dario Antonetti) and Yellow Shoes. This project went on between 2002 and 2009 with the intention to reach one thousand versions but eventually it was decided that one hundred would do. This is a partially re-mixed version of
the original recording specially prepared
for this album. Music & words: Syd Barrett Arranged

 Waiting For A Miracle – part 1 |
The title 'Waiting for a miracle - part 1'
implies that humanity is just sitting around waiting for God or whoever to come and take care of the environmental issues we have created. The recording itself grew as a tag at the
end of Vegetable man and
builds
partly on the same theme. Helena Selander & Natalie Knutzen:

This cut, which builds on a wide array of inst ruments ranging from
Turkish saz
and mellotron to Celtic harp and percussion but
also a small choir fronted by
Helena & Peter, was initially released in 2006 on a rather obscure
little
compilation by a label called Lost frontier, though that was an
earlier, yet
not so developed embryonic version of the song. The title given to this
compilation was 'Christmas sampler 2006'.

depicts the madness of the current situation in Ukraine. Initially
this was the
finale part of a P Lindahl song called 'En strimmahopp' (in English, A
ray of
hope) which once emanated from a ballad called Choral for John Lennon.
But
later on only the tag was used as a song on its own, initially with
soundeffectscentered around the civil war in Syria, but as time flew
and
another even more ghastly war broke out, other FX were added instead to
adapt
to the new scenery. Written by P Lindahl Cristina
