Led Zeppelin's Sinuous, Anacondic, Orgiastic Moby Dick

While driving along the lonely, cow-pad padded Tok Kah road between Jerangau and Kuala Dungun on a hazy afternoon today, my loose-ended mind dithered between letting the imagination or the radio fills in its vacuosity. My fingers kept pressing the button to find the English language station which I had not locked on. The volume was on low. The reception was not as good as it could be. One of the stations had some drum work on and I settled for that. I didn't up the volume right away but the drum beat sounded promising and after a minute I turned it up. Then the exclusive drums began to work its magic. I turned up the volume some more and I was floated up on its strength and expanse. I wasn't sure if it was playing on the English language station or another, let alone the identity of the drummer. After a long, soul-satisfying five minutes of rapturous drum extravaganza, the familiar voice of the English language deejay came on and in his typically many-worded style, said the solo drum work was by Led Zeppelin entitled Moby Dick.

That's it, guys - big it, dig it! If any stimulus can take me on a wing and a song heavenwards, Moby Dick does it for me. It brought me as close to God as possible for the day. The station played a few more of Zeppelin's songs with vocals and guitar work thrown in. Moby Dick is pure drums.

Hear it on YouTube and see what it does to you, if you haven't done so already.
