| Production a bit messy.
Everything too high in the mix?

| What's with all the background honking? Does he think it's adding to the pathos in some way?  _________________ |

I believe that Paul McCartney just lent him some geese from the farm for the occasion.

| It is over. And the valkyries never arrived.  It was an album that started out promisingly but then got bogged down in dullness, once he abandoned the more bubblegum elements. Now to look back at the album and see what everybody else made of it.  _________________ |

I have more than a sneaking suspicion that the one that sounded like "Night Boat to Cairo" was indeed Ride of the Valkyries. - Nightjar wrote:

This one was likely the Mackay/Eno track "Time Regained". Whoever created the playlist was almost definitely a blithering eejit.
