Last track - Hey! Beautiful Dreamer.

Weird, almost Strawberry Fields-type intro...

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu May 06, 2021 7:35 pm

Change of mood.

Kinda Lennon-esque.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu May 06, 2021 7:36 pm

Possibly going for a Number 9 Dream thing.

by Nightjar Thu May 06, 2021 7:37 pm

Really quite Lennon-esque in fact.

by Nightjar Thu May 06, 2021 7:37 pm

A valiant attempt at complex Beach Boys-style harmonies.

by Nightjar Thu May 06, 2021 7:38 pm

Quite an interesting end to the album that.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu May 06, 2021 7:39 pm

It is over.

That was a pleasant collection of songs that suffered, at times, from a production that wasn't willing to go the whole hog.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu May 06, 2021 7:39 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

Not too shabby all round.

More musically indebted to the '60s than the '50s in truth.

Some plodding, uninspired moments, some not very original but jaunty and jolly tunes and a few genuinely interesting and engaging numbers.
