Just acquired a copy of this and am perplexed.
Instinct says it's utter bollocks and I can't be arsed to listen to it.
What am I missing?
Thoughts, please.

Nice. At a push. With a gun to my head. Cocked.
It's almost a bit early Suicide-y. It could almost be good. Reworked and with drums.

this "album" sounds like an soft porn;what you need is a drum to push the songs higher and higher...
...but sometimes the SSV goes into space (and in your head)

It's got potential. And it served a purpose.

To free him from a contract and allow him to record and release music again?
Pretty f*cking academic purpose then...

I did not see any artwork from SSV in the gallery. Is there any interest in images of the standard cover and cassette from the old xoom.com site? If so, I can try to put them in the gallery. In all, I have four images from the old site saved.

aye, go on. why not... its not copyrighted surely?
i've seen dodgy boot versions (a bad photo of von with bleached yellow hair and shades, with a dodgy font used for the title) but the "official" artwork (as it were) might be of general interest.

It's as good as Brian Eno - Music For Airports.
It's good chill out music IMHO.

They are .bmp images, so I could not upload them. Saving them as .jpg or .gif did not work either. The four images are 84 KB, 145 KB, 99 KB, and 733 KB. Should I send them as attachents by email?

I am glad that they got to you. I am not sure what was up with my uploading attempts last night. It took over an hour to logon to the net last night, so the problems may have been with my connection.
