2010, Hippos in Tanks
VINYL FORMAT. Palinopsia is so many things to so many people. For the sellers of vinyl records Palinopsia is the record to put out when your store becomes busy. As a result, you will find that customers will get lively, ask questions and in many cases make purchases. The cover art is pleasing and tasteful; a perfect invitation to our eyes that old fashioned work was involved. The sound has many influences and will appeal to people who like melodies, rhythm, acoustic instruments, concepts, synthesizers, lyrics, intelligence, parties, reading, sex, men, women, east, west and most importantly thinking. For the purposes of making a good business decision Palinopsia is a damn good bet - way better then anything traded on Wall Street. Yet that's just one, albeit valid way of looking at Palinopsia, the record from world traveler D'eon. Google "Palinopsia" and you will see that the first result is a wiki article concerning a contemporary medical term that refers to a visual disorder in which the patient perceives a prolonged after image. You will also notice that the word is Greek in origin; so at some point it wasn't a medical concept but something else. For D'eon, Palinopsia is a story transcribed in music about the perceptions, reflections and subsequent revelations of a young man who has discovered much about the nature of human existence circa 2010. There are some seriously pertinent messages that come through: where humans have been, where we are sinking in linear circles and where some of us are going. So, you can quickly conclude from all these meanings of "Palinopsia" that a round and clear definition does not exist. So to put forth a statement and only focus on one definition would be to totally misrepresent the truth. The notion is older then the potential organization of human memory and doesn't have a place of origin; just an existence that is simple and modestly stated in everything. Namely; one thing simply isn't one thing.
