Convinced MoS will grow on you....

I'm hoping. At the moment I find it slow, boring and repetitive. I feel like creating an Eno voodoo doll whenever I listen to it.

I think that's the beauty of this record. It's over in a flash for me and could go on longer......

Take your time with it; headphones, lights off, glass wine. (I mean the whole album).

Yes, and I just mean MoS.

And Edge has a Macbook..so he surely visits them I think.

In a recent (last week) interview he said he visits forums time by time and see what's going on. And that there are really interesting discussions sometimes. So Edge sure will know sites like this.

I think I felt the same way you're feeling now. (although it was Being Born & Unknown Caller instead of Moment of Surrender). I know you know this already, but give it time. It WILL grow on you. I don't skip Being Born anymore and I wake up in the morning humming the melody to Unknown Caller.
