Album Theme: Modern Medicine. Listen To The Diagnosis and Life Support, Anaesthesia and Morphine Dreams. Have you ever had a bad accident? A head on collision with the grim reaper? Or do you know someone who's had a near death experience, a short visit to the world beyond the one we all know now in this life we call home? You've heard the stories about seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and experiencing an out of body sensation, while your whole life and family flash before your eyes. This album tells the story of a patient who's been to the great beyond and back, detailing the experiences along the way like being put under with anaesthesia, surgical incisions, morphine dreams, and sometimes a miraculous recovery. This album can be heard as the musical score for all medical doctors out there, winning and losing their patient's battles day after day.
