Word of the moment 2: Oblation

I am pleased to report that some excellent words have been used lately, 'oblation' being one of these in case you haven't gathered what is happening here.

ob‧la‧tion [uncountable and countable] formal
a gift that is offered to God or a god, or the act of offering the gift
Definition from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English

Used in Pity Dance by DM Stith - "to descend again in sweet oblation" - the word itself (score: 8/10) is not best served by being rhymed with 'obliteration', which is hardly an elegant resolution as it is basically the same word with some extra letters in the middle.

Nonetheless, we applaud Mr Stith's efforts.

And as no visual stimulus was added to the review of his fantastic show in July, this seems to be a suitable point to add a nice film of another track, BMB, also on the recent album Heavy Ghost, where a beautiful lady turns into hexagons.
