it's very very good. almost as good as the left banke, although the
singer on Montage hits one or two flat notes. Same type of string
arrangments, a beautiful, pannicky, stripped down version of Desiree
with stabbing strings on the off-beat which Tahiti 80 copy note for
note, nuance for nuance, production quirks and all in their live
shows, the fucking total morons.
What else? some bad lyrics. a silly, jaunty song about nuclear war
(wake up jimmy). I think Michael does play piano on it. The first
song (Mary) is fantastic. About a million times better than the
Stories. Buy it.
