Soft Landings

2017-03-06

A fairly unique album on this one. I thought they sounded a lot like very early Pink Floyd, ie "Piper At The Gates of Dawn." They are some crazy sounds on here, like what they would do back in the day with a synthesizer and were really just getting used to using it/exploring with it. There were a couple of songs where they had that Ziggy Stardust sound as well, but really not anywhere close to the musicianship. I thought they have good intentions and i can see what they were trying to do in terms of the sound, but just have not quite mastered it yet. Tracks 1 and 4 were decent.
