Track 4 - Lonely Girl.

These do all sound like themes from a heist movie.

Like, when the mob assemble in Tel-Aviv and head to a cocktail lounge.

This would seem to be from the Jean Harlow biopic.

Her recordings have proven influential in various genres. The High Llamas recorded a song entitled "Dorothy Ashby" on their 2007 album Can Cladders.

I walked out of a High llamas gig once as they were so tiresomely arch and sophisticated.

There's a funny story about the bloke from them being invited to the States to play with the Beach Boys live on stage.

So far the first track was a bit of a standout wasn't it?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat 26 Mar 2022 - 19:14

Track 5 - Life Has Its Trials.

by Nightjar Sat 26 Mar 2022 - 19:15

Bit more sprightly this one.

I was going to say they all sound like they're from a movie with that bloke in. The European man with the voice, who always played the man with the European voice. yes
