Music Makers
This one starts with an almost Rushish sort of instrumental texture. The song gets funkier as it continues, but these textures do return. It has a somewhat quirky sort of arrangement and features lyrics about the wonderful musicians who are your neighbors -- just normal people.
|
|
The Hike
A slower tempoed cut with a strong, almost poppy arrangement, and this one lyrically is about a hike through the forest. It has some subtle Howeish guitar moments. |
|
Tubeman
A bouncy sort of cut, this one feels like a playful early Blondie song. |
|
Wendy Bird
A song based in the Peter Pan mythos, this one is rather hard-edged and mysterious sounding. The vocal arrangement on it is quite strong, calling to mind old Jefferson Airplane at times. |
|
Connections
The intro to this piece is in a pretty balladic mode, then the song jumps into a fun and catchy pop rock mode that really grooves. This one is almost Grateful Deadish at times. |
|
Outlaw Radio Guy
This is a balladic sort of number. |
|
Dreading
A countrified cut with an unusual arrangement, this one gets quite progish at times. |
|
Sci-Fi With Space Leprechaun Appearance
Set in a bouncy sort of pop rock mode, the "leprechaun appearance" is a weird sort of instrumental break that occurs twice in the piece.
|
|
Milestones
Another quirky sort of cut, this one gets quite weird at times, but still very fun.
|
|
One Crow Morning
A spoken word/percussive early section leads to a classic rock and roll and blues sort of sound. The cut then becomes balladic, in a great mode with some nice percussion. This one feels like one of the classic hippie sort of songs from the late '60's and early '70's. |
|
Betya
This track is a good bluesy rocker with a nice '60's rock sounding guitar solo. |
|
Zorro's Dilemma
"Zorro's Dilemma" is a nice quirky Duane Eddyesque instrumental. |
|
Embarrassed (All True)
A bluesy intro kicks this one off, and the blues leanings remain in its quirky rock arrangement. The song is about various embarrassing moments in life. It is a bit too concerned with bodily functions for the tastes of this reviewer, but it is still funny.
