	Grazalema Trip Report
		Following the waiter's instructions, we had lunch near the mouth of the cave, to the sound of the rushing river, at whose edge we spotted a couple of Stripe-necked Terrapins basking on a mat of broken reeds, and which was occupied by some huge, carp-like fish.
		A Blue Rock Thrush posed conveniently on the chimney-stack of the adjacent building for most of the duration.
		An encounter with a female/winter-plumage male flycatcher in the pines at the bottom of the hill was fairly inconclusive, as it wasn't right for either Spotted or European Pied (the latter occurring only on passage here); Teresa freely admits that she just hasn't the experience to triumph in these more difficult birding moments.

		Keeping with the sci-fi bent of the first album, "Hope" is sort of a rock opera sung by a laser lighthouse keeper, the "loneliest creature in the universe" because he's the last left of his race after an interplanetary war.
		Led by the restless guitar and raucous rock vocals of Peter Wolbrandt, and featuring the monster bass playing of the bespectacled Helmut Hattler (he may be one of the top five bassists of all-time!), Kraan made a spacy jazz/prog type of music with some Middle-Eastern themes, yet retained true rock power.
