Most of these songs are much too long.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:46 pm

Technically the last song, but as the bonus one is by Brian Eno I might just check that one out.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:46 pm

Seems like an odd one to end on.

They'd've'd been less than 3 minutes long back when music was proper. Colbert

I briefly thought the last track was called "Barbara Orbison". doh

CD capacity allowed for such deviancy.

Last track "Barbara Orbison".

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:48 pm

Last one, 'You May Feel Me Crying'

What?

It is over.

It's nice that he had a career revival, right at the end of his life but the record was fairly dull from start to finish.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:49 pm

Oh, my mistake produced, not written by Brian Eno.

This dosn't sound like Low, not at all.

I'm carrying on. music

Well, it was ultimately a very sweet and touching thing for all and sundry to do.

Like staging a kind of 'Help the Aged' version of ~~Deaf~~ Live Aid in album form for very young relic of yesterbork.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:51 pm

Actually the production on this sounds more dated than the Jeff Lynne stuff.

shifty

Well, I love You Got It (I have to blank out the fact that it's Jeff Lynne-related) but nothing comes close that. I don't think the album was ever supposed to be thrilling, but there's some nice stuff on it and although Orbison does sound older he'd still got (it) that highly recognisable voice. And it's all very sentimental.

3.5/5

Rounded up to 4/5 for voting.
