I thought that was a fuzz guitar at first…

Saxophone/clarinet/something in between.

Perhaps.

But this is a cover.

I just can't remember who did it first (or most famously) right this second.

It's a soprano saxamaphone.

Like Kenny G.

We should do an Arrival album sometime.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:45 pm

It is over.

It started out very well but then became more routine with the occasional highlight.

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

by Nightjar Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:45 pm

Well, if ever there was an album in need of a remaster and CD-ROM re-release...

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:45 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Butterfield Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:47 pm

Well, that was much better than expected. Some solid musical performances, wonderful backing singers and gr8 rhythms. A couple of songs outstayed their welcome and one of the occasional male singers had a horrible voice, but overall a decent listen.

3.5/5

Rounded up to 4/5 for voting.

by Nightjar Wed Aug 16, 2023 7:48 pm

It was very super.

Just to think that after all of my name-dropping and boasts I'd never actually listened to a single thing by them in the last 34 years.

shifty

★★★★ average score.

Well deserved.
