Guitar solo. Actually yes it was a pop song, but those guys had chops.

It's a bit like a Steely Dan song but minus the genuine complexity and intriguingly opaque narrative.

Track 2 - Little Miss S.

"What I Am is a smart-alec's way out of a deep discussion on the universe as it relates to the self."

2: Little Miss S.

Lyrically, thematically it was also like a lightweight version of Joni Mitchell's "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow".

This is quite nice.

This is what I have been saying.

The production's OK for 1988, I'll give it that.

Drums quite sprightly but restrained production and mix-wise.

Track 3 - Air of December.

Quiet start.

3: Air Of December

Wind chimes.

Bit Dire Straits.

Actually, the fretless bass makes it sound like something off of Don Juan's Reckless Daughter.

In fact, this is completely indebted to Joni circa. '76-'81.

Yep, dull AOR.
