Taurus 4, I'm unfamiliar with "Barretty" - can you explain what it means?
Ugo, thanks for the link. I usually have a high tolerance for nonsense, but seeing the 'words' for "Sheba" and "Celt", side by side, gave me a headache. On that same page, I was wondering why the lyrics to "Incantations Part 1" were presented phonetically? I mean, "Diana, Luna, Lucina" is pretty straightforward.
Strangely, nightspore, I hadn't consciously paid much attention to the guitar part but you're right - it is quite something.
I may be an 80s' gal, Dirk, but Bow Wow Wow and Adam & The Ants? Yeah... no. Still, I agree that the drumming sounds a bit off, somehow.
Sir M, I take a different view - if anything needed improvement, I'd say it was either the arrangement (see above concerning drums) or the performance (again - drums), as I think the melody - while simple - is quite nice in itself and provides a good balance to the more aggressive guitar part. It would be interesting to hear this song sans percussion and with the vocal line taken up by, say, a violin.
Caveman, I just listened to "Molly" again and, you're right, it is very simple - but also very charming, I think. To be honest, I'd kinda neglected that piece, before. Thanks for making me revisit it.
Dirk, it must be the drumming that doesn't work for me, as well. I guess it's similar to how I have a hard time with the vocalists on some of MO's 80s songs.
