Additional notes
Album Notes: 1992's THUNDER PERFECT MIND sees Current 93 leader David Tibet turning toward a self-styled strain of pagan-Christian gnosticism (the title is from a Gnostic poem), and a fascination with the folk traditions of the British Isles. Every armchair theologist must have her exegesis, and THUNDER PERFECT MIND is the fundamental volume of Current 93's curious catechism. Tibet dissects imagery from Judeo-Christian, occult, Druid, and Eastern dogma, framed by a fragile skein of 12-string guitars, hand drums, harp, strings, and woodwinds. His distinctively intoned song-poems are a complex framework for C93's Byzantine iconography. Rose McDowall's wraithlike backing vocals, the presence of Death In June's dour Douglas P., and such apocalyptic pronouncements as "Rosy Star Tears from Heaven," "All the Stars are Dead Now," and "Hitler as Kalki (SDM)," raise the requisite goosebumps. THUNDER PERFECT MIND is singular, magical, and magnificent. It's where The Incredible String Band's bucolic whimsy meets forgotten apocryphal lore and the insinuating sonic sorcery of David Tibet's co-conspirator, Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton.

Advantages: Educates on the subject effectively Disadvantages: is only based on 'facts'
...of the film on the theories
There are obviously many theories regarding the crash of Flight 93, I have only outlined one of them, however, although the film was intended to be a respectable mark of the events, and was made to follow ?facts? the film raises so much curiosity that I believe even further theories have come from it.
In my own opinion I think that this was the directors expected responses to his film, in order to make his film successful all he had to do was keep to the ?facts? and make his film not seem controversial, just by doing this he would get the attention of all of the conspiracy theory seekers and people would be able to make their own minds up about the events regarding Flight 93 and 9/11.
What do I think?
My ideas change every time I watch this film, I do believe that the passengers attempted to take...

Advantages: The best of British rock Disadvantages: Maybe a little cliched
...announced they were splitting, so I can?t really talk. But that is still a great effort compared to some of today?s bands, such as Limp Bizkit, who not only use the F-word 46 times in a single song, but also boast about it in the lyrics. Not everyone likes swear words in their music, and Thunder are one of very few rock bands around that ever realised this.
Every band has a crowning glory. This is Thunder?s. Put this on, follow the engineer?s recommendation to play it ?very, Very, VERY LOUD? and for eleven songs and 50 minutes, you will be transported to the place where great rock bands are born. The album is, to my mind, the best music ever to come out of South London, the best rock music ever to come out of the UK, and the best album to ever come out! I LOVE this album?had you noticed?
?She?s So Fine?
There?s quite a funny story...

Advantages: A few big tunes Disadvantages: Little variation
...With acts such as Digital Underground, The Pharcyde and The Luniz as some of their most well-known acts, Oakland is known for bringing alternative Hip Hop to the world, and this came once again as the Hieroglyphics Crew's Souls Of Mischief broke out with their 1993 debut album "93 'til Infinity". The group consist of the four MCs A-Plus, Opio, Phesto D, and Tajai. On this particular album, aside from some of its won members, you get production from Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Domino too.
1. "Let 'Em Know"
To kick off the album you have them going for one which has them just hyping things up as you find them pulling out all they have to get you in the mood for their mood. This one pretty much sums out what is expected of them, with all areas covered in this for the rest of the tracks.
**Four Stars**
2. "Live And Let Live"
As we...
