Sun Machine is Coming Down, and we're gonna have Par-tay!

Oh, I thought it was going to fade back in again

And it's over.

by Guest Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:27 pm

Well, that was mixed. The Good bits were really good, but not so good bit, well not bad as such, but he'll do better.

Not sure if I should give this a 3 or 4 ★ review.

Dosn't help that the first song has been rendered unlistenable through over play. sad yes

by Guest Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:31 pm

I went for 3 in the end. sad yes

Also this is a 1976 re-issue, not 72 as I'd thought. doh

Quiet one...

It's just occurred to me, he's not singing like Antony Newley anymore.

'Tony Newley?'
'No, I don't know who it was.'

I changed my mind, I've given it 4.

yes

Im in!

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:03 pm

This would've been released around the time he changed my nappy. yes

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:04 pm

Title track.

His first genuinely great song.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:05 pm

I loved this song when I was little.

I remember it was re-released probably in probably the mid-'70s and watching the 'video' for it on TotPs on my Mum's B&W telly.

You couldn't really see anything.

Has anyone else ever combined the Mellotron and Stylophone to such brilliant effect? happy

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:08 pm

Wacky ending.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:08 pm

50 string guitar intro...

Still wrestling with the folk sound...

Not exactly successfully.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:10 pm

He did this kind of thing much better on 'Sold'.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:11 pm

Still, it's hardly bad.

Quite impressive really.

A big, brash number.

A bit restless perhaps...

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:12 pm

I've had to twiddle with the graphic equaliser for a more pleasant listening experience. sad yes

Bass up - treble down.

by Nightjar Fri May 22, 2020 4:13 pm

This is going on too long now.
