First I played Orange Skies, and it was like I was teleported to a Carribbean beach. It reminded me of "Ask" . I needed a cocktail!
She Comes In Colors lacks something... "u" in the tittle, possibly? No, hooks. I have a distinctly commercial taste, you see.
I loved Maybe The People Would Be... , it has a great rhythm, you just can't sit still when you listen to it. The whole instrumentation is great, and the horns make it sound a little Carribbean too. If not Spanish. Something Latin, anyway. (I may be getting the clue to your taste if you also posted Music When The Lights Go Out
) You Set The Scene is a classic. All in all they seem to be well rooted in their time and there's the prospect of having them in my playlist next to The Zombies.
Anyway, it's surprising how similar in certain ways Five String Serenade is to them. Less exuberant though, but I guess it comes with the age. (And so does the better production!) At last - the voice. It can't be the same person! And the style of singing seems to be different too. But you're the expert
Thank you for chosing the best of the best - I always prefer it when someone else does the hard work for me.
