The textures mesh, the textures rub against each other. In an interesting way.

Shame about that bloke from the Doors on keyboards.

With an unhealthy dash of Roxy Music dashed in there...

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:33 pm

This is the best track, so far.

Buy cheap land for uranium (Australia)
It reminds me of Sweden (Australia)
All the animals look so strange (Australia)

If you take away the vocals, it sounds like something that would have been on ELO's Time album.

It's true that Greenfield's keyboards is the element that makes TS special.

Hugh Cornwell could do angry so well couldn't he?

Wonder how he went so old so young?
