Dylanesque.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:21 pm

Yes!

Wonder how that happened, the first side seemed alright.

Still sounds like something else.

His 129th Dream.

Or whatever number it was.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:21 pm

Getting a bit freaky.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:22 pm

The Soft Machine sound is quite 'Marmite-y'.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:22 pm

Gimmicky speed up.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:22 pm

Gets on my hrmph:

TBH.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:23 pm

I know this one!

It was one of those Harvest Sampler LPs.

Extended, dull instrumental bit.

Accelerating.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:24 pm

I love this song.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:24 pm

I think I may have skipped too far ahead to catch up.

I'm now halfway through Eleanor's Cake

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:24 pm

Track 7 - Eleanor's Cake (Which Ate Her).

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:24 pm

Multitracked vocals.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:25 pm

I like the descending minor key change.

Sounds like Robert Wyatt? dunno

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:27 pm

Track 8 - The Lady Rachel.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:27 pm

There are a couple of versions of this track.

The longer single version is superior in my opinion.

Possibly his best song in fact.

by Nightjar Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:28 pm

This is nice enough though.

The single version is lushly produced with all strings and bells and whistles.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:29 pm

Interesting chords.
