Re: come in from the COLD

[Blair Fraipont]

I actually think that Slouching and Judgement of the Moon and Stars are extremely important to Travelogue in that (at least on the first disc) they create this chain of epic songs that compliment each other.. INfact that is why I like Disc One more, from "LOVE" to "For the Roses" each has this bravado and brilliance that outshines the second Disc, despite the fact that it contains "Hejira" and "Refuge".
Disc one for me atleast is more consistent. BUt, I can understand about some of the words that Joni hits, from time to time can be a bit grating. I think one song I would add to Disc one would be "The Three Great Stimulants" I can picture it going well with the other epics contained therein.

By and large, I really love T'LOG, and find it grows on me
with every listen. But I have to admit that I skip a number of
songs: SLOUCHING (can't abide those "Head of a man"s!
ouch!), LUDWIG (the worst performance of Joni's career; and
too bad, because I love the orchestration), TRAIN (too damn busy
by half); SEX KILLS (am I the only one who's fairly sick of that
song?); and BORDERLINE (never one of my favourites; and
not deserving of full orchestration).
