Prematurely Air-Conditioned Supermarket

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I heard this wobderfully named track on Radio 3's late junction (available still on Iplayer if anyone is interested)...and I was blown away.

It's from Einstein on The Beach by Philip Glass. To be honest I'm fairly unfamiliar with him and have only previously heard some of his soundtrack work.

Anybody a fan? Any suggested listening matter? :D
