Is that a theremin I can hear in the background?

Blokey backing vocals.

Does this sound like 10CC?

It does have a quite odd production, it sounds good, but unreal.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:15 pm

Apparently, the producer was one of the Beatles' engineers.

I always feel this album sounds like the cover looks.

Track 4 - Aslylum.

Back to Rick Davies.

Definitely channelling his inner Elton John on this one.

Asylum.

Piano.

I don't think Rick Davies was as good a songwriter as Roger Hodgson but he was a very very good pianist.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:19 pm

Strings.

by Guest Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:20 pm

It's Elton John gone prog.

dontpanic

by Guest Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:20 pm

Well, Prog lite.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:20 pm

The strings on this remind me of Bobby Gentry.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:22 pm

Dramatic finale.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:23 pm

Going slightly overboard.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:23 pm

Tinkly piano.

by Guest Tue Mar 31, 2020 9:23 pm
