So. Dr. Ouija -- having heard Lost World -- takes the planchette and spells out something on the Board for me to consider; he seems to feel that I've selected for an elegy for a lost friend. He laid his spirit hand on my arm, and looked at me with an unnerving compassion. I never argue with Dr. Ouija, even though it sometimes takes a while to appreciate his insights. Once the good Doctor calls my attention to these things, they seem so obvious -- a lot of life is like that, I suppose.
From back in 1984 comes Simple Minds with "Shake Off the Ghosts" and yes, I can see how that's elegiac. And from this year, by Sleeping at Last, there's "Saturn" which is itself openly break-your-heart elegiac. But stick around -- there's plenty of different styles to be heard: Bonobo, Pan Electric, Sizzle Bird, Blu Mar Ten, All India Radio, Blank & Jones, and more.
