Leave it to Bill to throw in something off the cuff!  Bravo!

excellent score and choice of instruments. 
It reminds me of the theme music for one of my favorite movies, Le Bruges.

Very evocative. If you don't already, you should write stories.

Hm. Kind of liked this until I read your comment. It's a rare thing for me to say but I think you're right ;-)

The mechanical repetitiveness is kind of creepy.

Lose the knife, it's a beautiful mass-murder doll that goes on a killing spree when you play this song on a music box that goes with her. As I am writing this, Agnes Obel's song Familiar has started - a perfect song to follow {#Cheesygrin} omg this is all so creepy

Not really, but everyone hears different stuff.  Justin Hayward did not compose "Forever Autumn", by the way, he was essentially selected to sing it on Jeff Wayne's "War Of The Worlds" album.

Have I told you the differences between heaven and hell? In heaven the French are the cooks, the Germans are the engineers, the British are the police, the Italians are the lovers, and the Swiss run everything. In hell…the British are the cooks, the French are the engineers, the Germans are the police, the Swiss are the lovers, and the Italians run everything.

Great song! I wasn't sure what it reminds me of (aside from Satie etc.), but now I have it: The soundtrack to In Bruges by Carter Burwell, which I'd recommend to anyone liking this tune (here's a little teaser).
 
Such a good movie, and the soundtrack was wonderful, and this is reminiscent of it.

Normally I can at least barely understand the point you are trying to make.  I attribute that to an understanding that there is a much larger and valued world out there that doesn't speak English and shouldn't have to.  

However, I have no idea WTF you are talking about here.

Thought Belly was going to morph into a huge pop band way back when. Was interested enough to see them play The Orpheum in Boston circa 1995. They didn't have enough beef to be a long-term Indie constant or whatever it is that makes teenagers love you for years.

I love Mogwai, but unfortunately missed this. Wasn't aware of this EP. Haven't kept tabs on them lately.

Please keep it in the playlist, Bill, so I can decide whether I should get this. :)
