My take away songs -

 

"The Reflex"  (Discovered in the Live from London DVD)  One word summary - Upbeat

"Union of the Snake"  (Discovered in the Live from London DVD)  One word summary - Electric

"Tiger Tiger" (I cannot recall where I first heard this song, but I now have it on my iPod.)  A story unfolded through sole instrumental.  Beautiful.  Very reminiscent of the 1980s tone.  Leaves the listener wanting more at the end of the song.  Simply love is all I can say.
