Track 10 - Manic Melody (Hairy Beary).

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 25, 2021 8:31 pm

This doesn't sound very manic.

I don't have a clue what's going on.

by Nightjar Tue May 25, 2021 8:33 pm

Probably the most challenging track on the album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 25, 2021 8:34 pm

Last track - Heartbeat.

This is an ace bit of electro-synthi-pop.

by Nightjar Tue May 25, 2021 8:35 pm

Almost Kraftwerk-esque.

A bit like the End Titles music from Blade Runner too.

Now, that's how you do a false ending. box

by Nightjar Tue May 25, 2021 8:41 pm

And that's how you an ending. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 25, 2021 8:41 pm

It is over.

It was devoid of feeling, meaning, interest and purpose.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 25, 2021 8:41 pm

I shall give it 2 stars.

by Nightjar Tue May 25, 2021 8:42 pm

Well, I liked it.

Other people may have 'other' opinions.

But those 'opinions' are WRONG.

by Nightjar Tue May 25, 2021 8:46 pm

It's far from perfect though.

I'm not sure CTI ever really did an album that was anywhere near perfect.

In fact the next album was a little bit less good and then Techno-Primitive was a load of complete bobbins.

Ultimately Cosey doesn't get nearly enough of a creative, avant-garde input - it's just CC noodling about with electronics in the main.

Still, when it works it verx werry vell.
