Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
Also, I don't believe the studio version of Wijs me de weg does it justice. The terrific, fully-orchestrated version is the one I'd go with.

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
I think "The Load Out" really loses its oomph without it's companion piece "Stay"

Hi Brad, couldn't find the song on Spotify, if you have a link, please post it here.Brad wrote:I think "The Load Out" really loses its oomph without it's companion piece "Stay"
Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
It's actually a separate track on spotify, though the two run together pretty seemlessly on the album - the last two songs on Running On Empty:spiritualized wrote:Hi Brad, couldn't find the song on Spotify, if you have a link, please post it here.Brad wrote:I think "The Load Out" really loses its oomph without it's companion piece "Stay"

PS - I get this might be "cheating" but you would never hear these songs separated on the radio - kind of like pulling apart the Abbey Road Medley!

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
I wanted to finish my holiday tribute to Bulgaria and Romania with the following song:
George Enescu - Romanian Rhapsody No. 1
But that is a classical piece and I can imagine that something like that doesn't sit well with people here, even if it isn't as huge as Ode to Joy or something. Any opinions about this?

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
Absolutely right! The song only works with the two tracks combined. That was my intention when I nominated it. Didn't think there might be an issue on how we listen to this music on Spotify.Brad wrote:It's actually a separate track on spotify, though the two run together pretty seemlessly on the album - the last two songs on Running On Empty:spiritualized wrote:Hi Brad, couldn't find the song on Spotify, if you have a link, please post it here.Brad wrote:I think "The Load Out" really loses its oomph without it's companion piece "Stay"

Re: AMF WC Classics Edition 24
OK I see your point, but some (of which I am) don't have a subscription to Spotify and therefore have to listen to the playlist in shuffle mode...which makes the point moot. So difficult to judge whether Jackson Browne would have an unfair advantage hereBrad wrote:It's actually a separate track on spotify, though the two run together pretty seemlessly on the album - the last two songs on Running On Empty:spiritualized wrote:Hi Brad, couldn't find the song on Spotify, if you have a link, please post it here.Brad wrote:I think "The Load Out" really loses its oomph without it's companion piece "Stay"
