Then, during the high guitar part (some weird octave/phaser effect), just
play the Break chords above with some palm muting, and a little quicker this
time through.
The Perfect Circle: Sleeping Beauty Mountains
It's being proposed that a large wind farm be sited on the Sleeping Beauty
mountains, on the Isle of Lewis, in the Western Isles of Scotland in the UK.
We have been told that a decision will be made on 13th January so action needs
to be swift.
Mail from Cheryl Straffon below gives details:
You probably know of the 'Sleeping Beauty' or 'Sleeping Mother' or 'Sleeping
Goddess' mountain, as it is variously called, on the island of Lewis in the
Outer Hebrides off the west coast ofScotland. This amazing mountain (called in
Gaelic 'na Mointeach = the Old Woman of the Moors) forms the profile of a
sleeping woman when viewed from the Callanish stone circle.
At the major southern standstill of the moon (every 18.6 years - next one due in
2006) the moon appears to rise out of Her legs, creep low along her body,
silhouetting first one part and then another, hang low over her breasts, and
then disappear behind a hillock, only to reappear inside the circle of stones at
the foot of the tallest central one and at the head of the burial cairn. This
spectacular sight is pure megalithic magic: a perfect blending of astronomy,
ritual, landscape and Goddess.
Now the mountain is under threat - from a proposed wind farm, which if it goes
ahead will permanently disfigure the 'Goddess' shape of the hills. An
application has been made to the Scottish Ministers by Beinn Mhor Power Ltd of
39 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland EH2 3BH to construct a 133 turbine
windfarm on the top of the peaks that constitute the 'Sleeping Beauty'.
Irrespective of the value of windfarms as renewable energy, the proposed
location for these wind turbines will directly affect the appearance of the
Sleeping Beauty mountain and the sight of the standstill of the moon.
Objections to the siting of the turbines can be made to the Scottish Executive -
but action must be taken immediately. We have only until 13th January to object.
If you feel strongly about this please e-mail your objections and
representations (the Consents & Emergency Planning Unit of the Scottish
Executive in Glasgow) stating that you are objecting to the specific location of
the wind turbines, and the adverse effect this may have on the appearance of the
hills and the local economy of Lewis, which attracts thousands of visitors to
Callanish and to view the Standstill.
Top Tracks by A Perfect Circle on Rhapsody Online
The most obvious criticism of A Perfect Circle is that they're not Tool.
Anyone who comes to this Maynard James Keenan side project looking for a booster
shot of venom to tide them over until the next Tool album will begin to feel the
hot flashes and nausea of withdrawal almost immediately. Not surprisingly,
"Judith," the most Tool-sounding song on Mer de Noms, was also the first
to be promoted, but don't be misled -- A Perfect Circle are much closer in
sensibility to the Smashing Pumpkins than Tool. Songs such as "The Hollow" and
"Thinking of You" show Keenan to be capable of sensitivity, longing, even
instances of vulnerability. His sinuous voice still sneers on occasion, but is
more inclined to coil gently or soar ecstatically.
On "Orestes" he sounds like a man liberated, however briefly, from a defeated
world. Even without the presence of strings (!) and the gorgeous textures
achieved by vocal overdubbing, there's something phenomenal happening here that
fans won't find on a Tool album. This is someone's attempt to rescue a little
sweetness and light from an encroaching darkness -- and it's an attempt that
succeeds over and over again. - Chad Driscoll
