Track 6 - Press. The big hit single.

Drum machines and synthy overdose.

I'll say something he certainly moved with the times. I bet John Lennon would still be making retreads of Imogene by 86.

Middle eight that's clearly the fault of Eric Stewart.

Track 6 - Press. The big hit single.

I've never heard this before in my life.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's a song that it's very difficult to get a hold of. I think that, after all this time, I still couldn't actually sing it.

He was 44 when this came out.



He seemed so old then...

[The Call of the Wendigo]

This sounds more like a 12 inch remix than an album track. The single version's a lot more compact.

[Guest]

I could imagine Yazz singing this.

Pretty Little Head.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Track 7 - Pretty Little Head.

I really like the single version of this. Will I like the noticeably different album version?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Starts off sounding very Peter Gabriel.

"Hillmen, Hillmen, Hillmen, Hillmen.
Oh, Oh. Oh, Oh.
Hillmen Come Down From The Lava.
Forging Across The Mighty River Flow. Oh, Oh.
Always Forever, Only So You Don't Worry
Your Pretty Little Head.
Ursa Major......Ursa Major......"




yep.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It does sound like a lot of care was put into it.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Big loud thing that made me jump.

[Guest]

Quite liked that, but it did sound like a B side.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The ending is positively awesome.

Why had I never noticed that before?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Track 8 - Move Over Busker.
