Slightly tinny production.

Now he's run out of words.

It undermines things.

by Nightjar Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:03 pm

Starting to meander around pointlessly.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:03 pm

Going on a bit too long now.

They can't quite decide where to end it.

Doolin' Dalton. cigar

This song isn't going anywhere. Nicely produced though.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:04 pm

But the final ending is quite nice.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:04 pm

Track 2 - Try Not to Breathe.

by Nightjar Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:05 pm

Sounds like mid-70s Fairport Convention.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:05 pm

This is basically that song that goes, "See saw, Marjorie Daw."

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:06 pm

This sounds like something that could have been on Green.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:06 pm

I reckon this is the least interesting song on the album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:06 pm

I've no idea what he's on about.

Wonder what it is?

An anchor?

The front cover of the album shows a greyed-out photograph of the sign on the Sinbad Motel on Miami's Biscayne Blvd

Hence my Fairport reference.

English folk origins innit. smug

Track 3 - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:08 pm

This is one of my faves.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Apr 24, 2020 7:09 pm

Is this the same rhythm as Ashes to Ashes?
