Track 11 - Little Savage.

Another sorry mess.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:50 pm

This one could have fitted perfectly on Armed Forces.

I sense that he's restless.

In relation to his earlier work this is to Costello as Lodger is to Bowie.

Only minus the charisma.

I promise you'll prefer NAF, Stevie_ButtonZ. yes

He should've gone into theatre.

Or the movies.

He's only actually got about 3 melody lines, but he puts a lot of notes in to try and hide it, but it just makes everything messy and both too simple and complicated at the same time. But not in an interesting way.

The Ephelant Man.

Golirras in the Mist.

Track 13 - Pidgin English.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:55 pm

Getting a bit psychedelic.

by Nightjar Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:55 pm

The Beatles.

The Kinks.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:55 pm

Then stopping being psychedelic.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:56 pm

Classical style acoustic guitar solo.

by Nightjar Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:58 pm

I think it's safe to say that his voice is an acquired taste.

If you don't like it then you're never going to like it.

The fact that looms over the production like God's menacing face in Time Bandits is bold to the point of recklessness.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:58 pm

Track 14 - You Little Fool.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:59 pm

The first single from the album.

by Nightjar Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:59 pm

BTW.

The best backing band of all time are Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy" band.
