The orchestration sounds quite sophisticated/interesting.

I like the descending melody on 'King of the Universe'

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:03 pm

I have no idea what this song's about.

The next two are a definite two-parter...

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:04 pm

Track 2 - Bluebird is Dead.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:04 pm

Getting Bluesy.

It sounds a lot better than the boring standard way a string quartet would be slapped on a normal prog song.

I mean have you heard what they did to Greg lakes song on Works 1?

oh no

Brilliant track followed by another more brilliant track.

He's definitely trying to channel someone famous but I don't have a clue who.

All sounds a bit native American, in tribute to Adam and the Ants.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:07 pm

That was an excellent bit of lead guitar from Jeffrey.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:09 pm

Track 3 - Oh No Not Susan.

Warning! Contains language! Kenneth

by Guest Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:09 pm

Oh No Not Susan

Sounds a bit funny, like it's not tracking right.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Apr 09, 2020 9:09 pm

Hints of the Beatles' I'm So Tired.

I wonder what would happen if someone was bought up on ELO albums, and THEN hears the Beatles?
