about

Recorded at CBS' Studios, London - July 1983

lyrics

On the long night watch you are surrounded by darkness and your spirits feel tired
So many around you deeply down in the dream world of the skins they have acquired
Walking along the lines and contours where the pathway goes
You stumble on non-places in the darkness and bang my nose

Deep in the heartland, the painted window is breaking
Deep in the heartland, the house that holds it is shaking

Solid things seem to disappear down the grid they pour
If references lead us nowhere, what are they for?

(Chorus)

It’s falling apart

Big men drive you crazy, put their lies inside your head
The voices of confusion, even follow you to bed

You’ve seen something not exactly hidden, but someone’s been trying
We’ve all seen things are officially denied, someone’s been lying!

(Chorus)

I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan. nuttinikki

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro
