1. ** Lively classic band with vocals. Fun, light.
4. Slow track with some trailing sounds that fade away.
5. Opening heavy riff that repeats 4 or 5 times. Typical B52’s sound with some military drumming in second half of the song.
6. Colorful, light with male and female vocals. Repeating bridge with some sort of organ. Typical 4/4 time drums. Abrupt stopping with completing with the main theme.
7. **Starts with a slow guitar with a male voice altered to sound like he is talking through a pipe. Nice riff. Later is a alternating 60’s organ with drums. Almost sounds like “The Doors”.
9. ** Good fast tempo with alternating instrumentals with heavy guitar.
10. Waltz beat with male vocal voice going crazy. Changing into instrument solo and back to sing with all members of the group.
