This is a bit better but isn't actually any good.

Track 10 - Cool Cat. eek

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:37 pm

Sounds like the Style Council.

by Nightjar Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:37 pm

Yeah, why isn't this the last track?

Under Pressure should've been track 1.

Back to the side 1 sound.

Sophisti-popish.

This is a band that's at something of a Benny out of Crossroads, isn't it.

This song's grown on me the 30 20 odd years I've know it.

At first I thought that that was an onomatopoeia.

Last track - Under Pressure.

Famous one.

Ice Ice…

Pleasant jazz-soul-lite.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:40 pm

It already sounds better than anything else on the album, and we've only heard the intro.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:40 pm

Ripping-off Vanilla Ice.

That's called Appropriation. Colbert

I've always found the lyrical sentiment of this song the thing's that raises it up from the mere ordinary.

It's because of D. Bovvie of course.

When a song becomes so ubiquitous it's unlistenable.

I think I remember this being a good song, dunno

by Nightjar Thu Aug 13, 2020 7:44 pm

It's actually a very dark, challenging song.

Especially moving.

I always thought Hot Space was the worst album we ever did. Freddie and I thought it was going to be great, and it was absolute Sith.
