These rhymes he keeps using are appalling.

He does have a distinctively unusual bass voice.

Nothing else to say. Nothing.

50% good, 50% not even bad - just, dare I say it, pointless...

Let's check out the Syd Barrett one…

That little skip in the guitar, better than everything on the album.

It is over.

That was like listening to music made of plywood.

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

I shall give it 2 stars.

I can only guess that they left the extended version (trimmed for 7" release) off this album because it would've'd made the rest of it sound rubbish...

I do recommend listening to this BTW.

It could hardly be more different - proper production, strings, horns...

Have you heard the Singing a Song in the Morning one?

I've heard - and in some format or another - got all of his stuff. sad yes

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:56 pm

If we ever do another album of his it'll have to be The Confessions Of Dr. Dream And Other Stories.
