Have I Seen It Before?: Yes Running Time: 149 minutes Directed By: Stanley Kubrick Written By: Stanley Kubrick Primary Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester Summary: Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer HAL 9000, sets off on a quest.

Road- ***** Just a perfect song.  Love the guitar riff to pieces.  Sounds defeated, yet comforting. 4. Which Will- ***** Such a dreamy song in Nick's unique way. 5. Horn- ****1/2 An excellent piece of minimalism.  Works so well in the context of the album. 6. Things Behind The Sun- ***** This one always hits me in the gut.  It's so heartbreaking and raw. 7. Know- ****1/2 Childish fun in the midst of defeat within the album.  Love it. 8. Parasite- ***** Powerful and
