Is this Imagination's version of Culture Club's Victims?

by Butterfield Sat Jun 11, 2022 7:31 pm

I was expecting this was going to be a medley of I Will Always Love You and Don't Look Back In Anger.

But it has turned out a whole lot better.

Emotion in his voice.

They've earned this ballady moment.

Back to the trusted formula.

Still, very restrained in tempo.

This sounds like Body Talk.

by Nightjar Sat Jun 11, 2022 7:33 pm

The piano reminds me of Giorgio Moroder's OST to Cat People.

Particularly "Irina's Theme".

You say that like it's a bad thing.

This is basically Body Talk with different words.

I thought he was going to sing "drove me round the bend" then.

In fairness, it's my first mild critique of this album - unless you include me calling it "sexy".

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jun 11, 2022 7:35 pm

This is the best track on the album.

by Nightjar Sat Jun 11, 2022 7:36 pm

I'm feeling this possibly more than "Body Talk".

I mean criticism. But I don't think it will detract from my final score. gossip

Very tasteful interplay between the vibes and piano.
