   Hello ,   
      
   Part two of the discussion on the CD Morph the Cat.   
      
   Initially, this track, H gang,  got 5 /10  (score I gave at second   
   listening, two months ago) ; . I'm surprised about myself that I only gave 5   
   at first. Apparently, it was perceived as "almost unsatisfactory...".   
   Now it's 7/10.  Which is good, but not really excellent.   
      
   This one is really is "sympathetic", fluid rhythm, sounds quite "full"   
   particularly in the beginning ; but nothing overwhelming.   
      
   Nice elements are   
       - the "wawa" guitar including its solo ; it reminds me somewhat of  the   
   guitar in   
       East St. Louis Toodle-OO, especially in high notes. But that is a song   
   of decadeS ago   
       - the chorus is very good, the vocal arrangement is not crappy at all.   
   It is a wonderful illustration of complex chords - but not TOO jazzy. In my   
   opinion, however, backing vocals all sung by the same person, which is DF   
   himself here, lack some richness, some diversity of sound.  Any comments ?   
       - the sax solo, OK   
      
   Your comments are welcome.
