It's sufficiently different from the original to make it interesting but not so close that it's near nearly as good. I seem to remember getting a bit of stick for announcing that I liked it on the old forum, some people even doubted my sanity, but you like what you like and I make no apologies for that.

Yeh I wouldn't mind that, not sure about the rest of the TD fanbase though, Phaedra 2005 was not met with great enthusiasm (to put it mildly).

. I suspect you are completely sane btw. No so sure about myself

Got to be honest but at the time I thought it was all rather funny, I tend not to take that sort of thing too seriously.....
...although obviously I cried myself to sleep for several weeks afterwards.
As for my sanity ...I think my previous sentence probably gives an indication..... not good.

I quite like Delfi it sits quite well on the album and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. I could believe that it was written around the time of Phaedra but obviously it's been given a new coat of paint for this release.
