Phew - S/T (1981) [SAA Album Club discussion thread]

The top three tracks from the album, for me, were Fragment, Mapping, and P-Adic, in that order.

I wasn't really prepared for Japanese vocals at all, so I was none too thrilled originally. But it's not the first time. And they grew on me...

Here's one cool thing you may or may not notice. Track 1 is called Closed and the last track is called Circuit.

Play Circuit, and then Closed, and you'll hear why. You may have figured out, the first track picks up right where the last track ends. Closed Circuit.

The vocals on Signal... well ... remind me of Primus' My Name Is Mud. Especially since Les Claypool redid it in Spanish for his South American tour. It flows in the same manner, I feel.

Dream, Doze, and Aqua were my least favorite pieces, but I feel like Aqua has redeeming qualities I'm just still missing.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with this album in that my first impression was ... the opposite.
I could listen to it again...
