In praise of Optimism (1988)

I love this album. What can you say...? Totally unique, visionary, certainly influential (although perhaps doesn't always get the credit it's due - it was recorded 40 years ago, btw!). It has a strange cinematic feel for me, heightened by those two amazing concluding tracks (bonus tracks on the 1988 CD version, I think) with their surreal film-noir otherness. 'Short Wave' - wow! Same atmospheric universe as the track "My Dream Demon"? Both would serve as perfect end-credits music for a film which has left an audience stunned.
