The production's all present and front and centre, but the songs are a bit wishy washy.

I mean, there must be well over 20 people playing the backing.

Classical musicians trying to make ends meet etc...

This is a right duffer.

There's barely a recognisable song present.

This album has gone on longer than 26 minutes. Colbert

by Guest Tue Feb 09, 2021 7:31 pm

Half a song repeated to fade.

by Guest Tue Feb 09, 2021 7:32 pm
