I know that primal scream you mentioned in "Song And Dance." That's one of the best parts of that song.To me, it's one of the greatest KJ tracks ever.

If it was deliberately calculated to do that then I'd say someone knows a thing or two about the secret potential inherent in music.
Song and Dance has a nice building sequence too leading up to Jaz'z primal scream - a joyous moment!

The ones that really strike a chord with me are the ones like "Song And Dance" and "Slipstream." "Slipstream" is just damn beautiful.That guitar riff at the beginning is one of the most perfect things i've ever heard.Nobody can touch that.

it. Geordie's guitar really weaves a glistening web of sound here that flies
defiantly in the face of those who'd write the band off as merely lumpen
doom-merchants. Nevermind "Our Last Goodbye," it's songs like *THIS* that
stop me dead in my tracks.
