Track 12 - Ocean Blue.

by Nightjar Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:29 pm

That one sounded much more '80s indie.

by Nightjar Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:30 pm

As does this.

The Cocteau Twins-lite.

Was this one on C86?

Excited

This is the more chilled-out part of the album.

by Nightjar Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:30 pm

Peter Hook bass again.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:30 pm

Were the Stone Roses basically a Primitives rip-off band?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:32 pm

Track 13 - Run Baby Run.

by Nightjar Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:33 pm

It's all gone lo-fi.

by Guest Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:35 pm

I would say this is like the Shop Assistants, but, before my time innit?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:35 pm

Track 14 - Don't Want Anything to Change.

by Guest Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:36 pm

This really does sound like it was recorded over a couple of years

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:37 pm

Last track - Buzz Buzz Buzz.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:37 pm

It kind of reminds me of the Gruppo Sportivo album in that respect.

Not musically obviously, but rather the sound and sophistication of the tracks has varied considerably.

In the case of this album, it's like the it's got steadily more basic and under-developed - more demo-ey.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:40 pm

It is over.

I felt that was a very good album that probably had too many tracks on it but was consistently pleasing sounding and had the sense to throw in something odder whenever it was threatening to get too Poppy for its own good.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:41 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Nightjar Fri Nov 13, 2020 7:43 pm

Well, that was OK.

Not really my thing, but it would be churlish indeed to say any of was bad or dislikable.

Perhaps a little musically basic, but quite ahead of its time in it's own retro '60s way considering all the guff that was to come in the next decade.
