The material's highly commercial, but with more than enough muscle to appeal to folks who shun top-40 with a passion. The heavily orchestrated 'Twiddle My Thumbs' and ' 'Nightcap' were among the few missteps. The two songs were certainly pretty, but McPherson's atypical quivering falsetto delivery makes them sound like Bee Gees outtake (though both could've been hits had the latter released them).
Personal favorites - the blazing fuzz rocker 'Light Down Below' and the disconcerting last track 'Doomsday'. Elsewhere Capitol tapped the rocker 'Fahrenheit' b/w 'Twiddle My Thumbs' as a single (Capitol catalog number 2372). Well worth the investment if you can find a copy and the LP's rapidly gaining a following in collecting circles.

I hate to sound ungrateful, but that DepositFiles site, which I've used before, breaks down about 80 percent of the time, then tells you you've exceeded your limit with a very long time to wait before being able to try again, and then it breaks down again. When you do get a clean download, they throttle their files so heavily, that, well, I'm unable to break past 30 kbs. That's slow by any measure, but a 308 megabyte file makes it truly intolerable.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean to say is, surely you can find a better outfit, and far less mean spirited to upload your files to.

ReplyDeleteHi Marios. One of the Free Text links is dead and Google says the other contains "harmful software". Could you put up new links for this? Thanks!
