Sounds like a drum machine. But probably isn't.

About 3 millions layers and a lot of work to make it sound this layed back.

of course, this means they could never replicate the genius of the first track om their first album and their career from this point on was a tale of crushing decline.

They were only about 22 when they did this album.

I do like this song, but, guess what?

It goes on too long. sad yes

Reminds me of something…

That descending vocal line, I'm thinking Alex Harvey for some reason.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 05, 2020 7:03 pm

Possibly the most aimless guitar solo of all time.

But it works.

by Nightjar Tue May 05, 2020 7:03 pm

Groovy sitar-Motown guitar solo.

by Guest Tue May 05, 2020 7:03 pm

I'm err... enjoying this.

Was I Wrong?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 05, 2020 7:03 pm

Keyboard solo. music

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 05, 2020 7:04 pm

Also aimless but successful.

by Nightjar Tue May 05, 2020 7:04 pm

Aimless keyboard solo now.

I wonder whether there was a 7" radio edit of this? hmm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 05, 2020 7:05 pm

It needs to be longer. rant

by Guest Tue May 05, 2020 7:06 pm

Well, that wasn't like 10CC at all.

yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 05, 2020 7:06 pm

Track 2 - Dirty Work.

by Guest Tue May 05, 2020 7:06 pm
