Bottle Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did anyone else think 'Volcano' when they first saw the picture, only to scroll further down and see the locomotive? I did (but then I'm odd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Mine is well underway now , and I daren't listen to any of this stuff as I am sure I will have composed something that will be the same as something else , what I am doing seems so natural that it cant be unique . and if I find an obvious similarity I will have to start again , that said, I think the same thing every month and none ever seem similar in the slightest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow the train reminded of the nightmare truck attempting to kill Dennis Weaver in Speilberg's movie "Duel" - like it's relentless, unstoppable, out of control, just like this rather tuneful bit of piano "jazz".
