Their voices go together so perfectly.

I think it's the best combination of female voices outside of ABBA.

This is easily the best track on the album.

Strong Beach Boys elements.

The work by the band helps the vocal interplay.

Fred Schneiderzhappie all restrained with his "Sprechgesang".

Last one; Follow your Bits.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon 18 May 2020 - 21:13

Last track - Follow Your Bliss.

Co-written with someone from the Gang of Four.

Very twangy guitar.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon 18 May 2020 - 21:14

...waits for Schneiderzhappie to start shrieking "on a Tuesday!" or "weenie-roast!" or "They had wigs on!"... scared

It is over.

That was a totally fabby record from start to finish, filled with energy, joy, warmth, freedom and love of the human spirit. It had two completely different producers but retained total consistency of tone all the way through. Basically, a flawless album.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited
