Reply To: Artificial Heart discussion
Well, I guess he’s saving the slow Alone at Home for his acoustic shows. Still, it’s a pity. I liked it better slow as well – you get more of that quiet resignation and desperation. Plus the chorus builds much better at the end, I think. On the other hand, that is EXACTLY the JoCo thing to do, and my feeling is he wanted to severely mix it up.
@weirdojace I’ve been chain-listening the live renditions, and the couple numbers he’s released already, since the first time he started playing any of them live, and the novelty is holding for me.
Well, actually, it might be more accurate to say that the novelty trans-substantiated directly into love. I rather suspect it’ll be a lasting album for most Coultonists 🙂
@BeatlesLover Thanks for the info. It only fuels my jealousy of anyone who’s had the pleasure of listening already, of course, but any third-hand exposure to Artificial Heart I can get at this point is ambrosia 😛
Still, I’ve yet to have those MP3s myself. I shall reserve judgment.
