The Long Goodbye

[prehistoric]

Finally got my copy of this today and I love it already.

I've spent too many years listening to farty prog stuff which takes aeons to make an impression on you so it's nice to finally buy an album containing twelve instantly memorable tunes (none of which stray over the 17 minute mark, or the 5 minute mark for that matter.......not that this is a bad thing.......).

"Everything Is Green" has yet to make an appearance through my letterbox though.........grrrr.

Oh, and I think I just fell in love with Sasha Bell!

Yeah- that's one of my favourites, along with "By The Sea", "Sorry River" and the extremely sweet "Berlin".

Think I'll be looking into that Ladybug album you recommended, and maybe Sasha Bell's Finishing School......

I'm all up for a bit of psychedelic self indulgence!

Definately get Everything is Green, because while i agree that it is quite different from The Long Goodbye, it is equally endearing. And yes a bit psychedelic, I guess.

I like everything is green better.
