genauer@math.stanford.edu Spoils Of War, The - II Late sixties art rock. Male, female vox. Varied instruments. Poor recording quality. Long bluesy organ jam tracks, art folk arrangements, and songs that would fit in a musical. Long on complexity and experimentation; tragically, comically short on talent and execution. Contains nearly every psych rock figure of speech...performed horribly. Hindsight is wonderfully cruel. ***1. Organ. Rallying horns, female vox. scooby-doo camp. starts and stops to clunky effect. *2.funky, fem vox, wah-wah, recalls Supersession. **3.quiet strings. cheesy sung poetry 4. slow harpsichord, classical motif. 5. whimsical spoken/sung cheesy poetry *6. female vox. awkward loping beat 7. sounds like a musical. 8. jazzy beat. bad clarinet. musical material. 9. subdued easy listening. a break-up song. 10. straight out of a musical *11. acoustic. folk. fake Garfunkel. *12. childlike. balalaika. very short. 13-16. campy organ and guitar jams. 15 is bluesy and in 3/4. 16 has jazz sax. ***17. long quiet funeral march intro. nice samples superimposed. morphs into psych rock. | ||
