I don't know if you are referencing that track, but it reminds me of a holiday in Cornwall. Ended up with Radio 1 breakfast show in the morning every day because there was no TV and very limited signal. They played the same tracks constantly, of which Monster was one.
Now I'm thinking about walking along cliff paths at dusk through persistent drizzle after eating local just-caught crab at a little pub in the cove. Fun times!
It is a great track. There can be little doubt of that?!
You are lucky to be able to remember a time of no TV and very limited signal!
I love the fact that you now write of "walking along cliff paths at dusk, through persistent drizzle" because that evokes loads of happy memories for me too.
On a darker note (just to keep things real)......the only thing that upset me about "coves" and caves/overhangs in those locations......is that flipping humans ALWAYS seem to use them as secluded toilets!!!.....Hence, they smelt less of the "submerged by the sea" smell (that I love).....and more of pooooooooooooo!?

I remember it all too well - only 3 channels on the TV, 99% of which was rubbish and all on schduled programs.
I hated it - always wanted more freedom to choose what I watched / listened to so when video recorders came along I would record my favourite TV shows and archive them to watch again at my convenience.
It may have been a form od demand avoidance in retrostpect but the limits and controls always chaffed with me.
After 3 decades of having built extensive libraries and access anything I wanted as soon as it was released I now find it nice to have more breaks from it and just let my mind have its own inner monologue for hours at a time while I do something useful like painting a house.
