  4. While I found David Lynch's "The Big Dream" and "Crazy Clown Time" interesting for what they were, I sure wish he'd go back to working on projects like this. I wasn't sure what to expect, but both the atmospheric music and the vocals are fantastic! Thanks for opening my eyes to yet another overlooked record!
