Wading through treacle...

Secrets next.

I don't remember how this one goes.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:26 pm

Track 9 - Secrets.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:26 pm

Drum machine seems to be out of time. Sly

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:26 pm

Oh, yes, now I do.

I think it's OK but trashed by the production.

Very OMD-ey.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:27 pm

It's like listening to Pete Best - but a machine.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:27 pm

Perhaps all drum machines came with a "Pete Best" setting?

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:28 pm

I don't think 'The Girls' really knew what was going at this point.

All of their dreams and plans were in the hands of a bunch of coked up t*sspots and they enjoyed the fame while it lasted, but it ultimately wrecked them.

Track 10 - "Who Knows What Love Is?" (Reprise). Sly

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:29 pm

I like the drum machine on this one, so far.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:29 pm

Weird filler track/reprise...

Then...

Being Cold.

The epic finale.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:30 pm

The song's taking its time arriving.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:30 pm

This track is wonderful.

Featuring melodica! Excited

And then it left without arriving.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:30 pm

Last track - Being Cold.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:30 pm

This song is a masterpiece.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:31 pm

Actual strings.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:32 pm

Scotland in a sweeping epic synth/strings nutshell.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:32 pm

This is one of the stronger songs on the album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 04, 2020 8:32 pm

Is that a big mouth organ?
