Strong hints of Fool to Cry.

Ultimately, this is just like something off of Paradise and Lunch (e.g. "Jesus on the Main Line"), but with a sound that's all wrong.

Comedy.

Does sound like early 80s Zappa albums.

I'm still intrinsically enjoying this. box

Famous song.

With Ms. Khan strutting her stuff again.

Guitar actually being given some freedom to explore things.

Seriously Lowell George-style slide guitar solo. gasp

It's just such a generic R&B number that was dated 10 years before it came out.

Also there's a way to mike drums, but that depends on the sound being softened by the analogue recording, you have to change it when you recorded on the Digi, or else it sounds like someone's turned up the presence knob.

And cut the bass.

CK has raised the game on both the tracks she's featured on on this album.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Jan 24, 2023 7:35 pm

Still one of the better ones.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Jan 24, 2023 7:35 pm

That's a point there's no bass is there?

Last track - Can't Win.
