TMBTM opens up the interdimensional barrier yet again. It's like he knows which glowing gems to touch inside the pylon.

TMBTM has managed to do a difficult thing: rescore a movie. The lyrics by Within Temptation often match the on-screen action/emotions surprisingly well. I can appreciate the amount of work...

Funky, cosmic, and meditative. Blueyoda's your interstellar DJ/cabbie, and be prepared for the possibility he'll drop you off somewhere other than where you left.
