Horses
Actually two songs (Beauty Queen and Horses), this one begins with a very sparse piano accompanying nearly accapella vocals. This Beauty Queen segment is very unusual. As it moves into the other half of the piece, a beautifully classically tinged piano segment emerges. This is quite a lush, intricate and dramatic piece. |
|
Blood Roses
This is a harpsichord-based cut with rather gritty lyrics. It features some very unusual vocal work at times. |
|
Father Lucifer
This arrangement is somewhat playful and includes horns and some nice vocal layering.
|
|
Professional Widow
A harpsichord based rocker, this is another strong cut with some unique vocal moments. Segments here almost have a modern Crimsonish arrangement. |
|
Mr. Zebra
This is a fun, short cut with a vintage sort of sound. |
|
Marianne
This pretty, moody and reflective number features a pretty and lush arrangement, and is really quite effective. |
|
Caught A Lite Sneeze
This is a percussion based number with pop sensibilities. The percussion here sounds a bit Phil Collinsish. |
|
Muhammad My Friend
After a solo piano intro, this is a pretty piano and vocal number. |
|
Hey Jupiter
A beautiful and dramatic piece, this standout cut really builds and delivers. |
|
Way Down
A very brief and odd sort of song, this is a bit bluesy, but definitely a bit in the mode of Kate Bush. |
|
Little Amsterdam
Another that is Bush influenced, this is a progish cut with r & B and blues elements. |
|
Not the Red Baron
This is a pretty piano and vocal based melody. |
|
Agent Orange
Agent Orange is a brief and quirky cut. |
|
Doughnut Song
A pretty and brief piano intro leads to a progish cut. This is a strong cut, that at times features intricate piano work. |
|
In The Springtime of His Voodoo
This bluesy cut has a very nice walking bass line. "Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, And I`m quite sure I`m in the wrong song." At times this one has some definitely gritty lyrics, and it features a segment that almost feels like an acoustic version of Kiss` Black Diamond. |
|
Putting the Damage On
Another pretty and moody progish ballad, this one has a rather lush arrangement. |
|
Twinkle
This is a moody piano and vocal number. |
