veedon fleece

veedon fleece was the only thing worth listening to.

this is kinda sorta the case under normal circumstances for me.

worth mentioning — if you haven't checked out Van's mid-90s rarities comp The Philosopher's Stone, there are a bunch of outtakes from the same era / similar vibe.

^a couple of tunes from Philosopher's Stone to check out (praying to the formatting gods that this works):

Not Supposed To Break Down
Contemplation Rose
Try For Sleep

You just sit there like a butterfly
You're well protected by the glass
You're such a rare collector's item
When they throw away what's the trash
You can hang suspended from a star
Or wish on a toilet roll
You can just soak up the atmosphere
Like a fish inside a bowl
