I did. But then, I am a big geek. Or maybe i just listened to IISFFGWG every day for a year or so when i first got it. Maybe.

The drums on that are amazing - played so quiet but recorded so loud it sounds like your head is inside the drum. Simply amazing.

Well, *I* suspected it. Like many, i went through a Floyd phase when i was younger. While i don't know if you could pay me enough to sit through The Wall now, Wish You Were Here is still a nice listen. I consider it to be their best work, largely b/c of Shine On.... And the title track re-grew on me (like a mold, or fungus) when my son learned it on guitar last year.

Not too different, really, the fiddle kinda does what the saxaphone did, and Declan does a mellowed out version of the solo. Starts acapalla (he writes in the liner notes he's always thought of it as a sean-nos song) and builds from there.

Just received the album from a super ebay deal (4gbp + postage). On the quite & mellow side, but has a few great moments, like any Christy album. The last one (Buring Times) still takes the cake, in my books.

Made it better, I'm sure.

It's different for sure

Press the little "Play" button to the left of Track Three for an Amazon-sized snippet.
