LET
THERE BE MORE LIGHT
Concept:
The song is a science fiction inspired tale.
Comment: The lyrics "The living soul of Herewood The Wake" referred to an
Anglo-Saxon rebel leader known as "the last Englishman" because of his last-stand
fight against the Normans led by William
the Conqueror. He took refuge on the Isle
of Ely until the monks there tired of the long seige and showed the
invaders a safe path through the fens to the Isle. Comment:
This song spends its first minute demonstrating the powers of stereophonic
imagery. The idea of the band as science fiction fanatics "space rockers",
indeed was to be a millstone round their collective neck for some time,
causing them much irritation.
