Last track - Time of the Season.

I hate this one.

Nifty organ. happy

Despite the Mamas & the Papas harmonies it's quite distinct.

If not entirely original.

I think it was hard for anyone to seem entirely original at the time.

Me either.

It's kinda interesting though.

I've always disliked the groove and too-cool-fpr-skool stylings, but...

I guess you had to be ther3e, right? dunno

It is over.

It was all very pleasant but a bit too fey and 1968 for me. Plus, I've never liked Colin Blunstone's voice which is far too gentle for my liking.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Oct 29, 2020 9:07 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Nightjar Thu Oct 29, 2020 9:08 pm

★★★ from me.

Weirdly though, I feel it might've deserved ★★★★ on account that, despite a few notable exceptions, it was quite an original work with a unique sound.

I'm in!

Harpsichord.

60s sound. bass, Rudimental drums. wimsey. That very period keyboard sound.

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:48 pm

This has got very early 60s panning for an album that came out in 1968.

Screach boys interlude.

Strangly colourless and, to be honest, lifeless vocals.

key change. Possibly

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:51 pm

A Rose For Emily

More late 60s wimsey. More Beach Boys.

I think I've made a terrible, terrible mistake.

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:53 pm

At least they kept it short.

Maybe After He's Gone

Ooh, this one sounds like it could go like the Animals,

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:53 pm

I was never keen on vocal harmonies to be honest.

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:54 pm

This one at least seems to have a bit of life to it.

by Guest Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:54 pm

Maybe we should have done this for Hallowe'en? Zombies? as in the Undead…

Maybe not.
