Ohh, a Give Blood leitmotif.

Needs another bit of a song to fill it out. Now it sounds a bit like Level 42 when that keyboard bloke sings.

Another 'walking moodily around the urban jungle at night' track.

I bet they spent ages on the production on this.

Track 6 - Crashing by Design.

Incidentally, I'm betting none of you have ever actually been to White City before. Colbert

Side B!

Crashing By Design

I would say this sounds like 'Cache the Cache', or 'Don't let go the Coat' but I can't remember what those songs sound like

In the '80s I think there was just a button they pressed that made everything sound horribly slick and overproduced and mixed to a laser-sharp beige.

Too expensive for us types. sad yes

We can't even afford to look at it.

Track 7 - I Am Secure.

by Nightjar Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:25 pm

There's more of a song here though.

It's not a song I like all that much however...

What, White City?

Written with Dave Gilmour. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:26 pm

Repetitive start.

I Am Secure

My point exactly.

You've never been to White City.
