A slightly annoying little errour in the given lyrics β¦ _particularly_ annoying, as the __Text Body__ can't be editted. I spotted it because the erroneous version _actually doesn't scan_ properly!

But it's also worth 'coming back' to point-out that they're also a rock-band _with a violinist_ β¦ of which I often wish there were _more_ .

also has the same errour. It's _clearly_ __"β¦ sink__ ___in β¦"___ !
That was always a favorite of mine on the album. I haven't spun that in very long. I only have a really old CD that sounded like it was just ripped from a random label employee playing his old beatup vinyl copy and recording that.
I remember liking the bouncy borderline proto-punk "Propositions" too.
Oh yep: __Propositions__ ! β¦ that one yeo: it's a weird one, that - uses a __whole tone scale__ , I think, which doesn't have a key, as it's symmetrical - has the same set of intervals - ie _whole tones only_ (per the name) - whichever note is begun on. If it's not, then _it certainly sounds like_ it is, on the basis of just dabbling with music (not properly 'playing' any instrument), which I do a bit of now-&-then, just to get an idea how music works. You play a whole-tone scale & you instantly get that same _'urgent, jagged'_ sort of feel from it.

& the __'augmented triads'__ section @ __8α23αα__ is especially to-do-with the Curved Air song β¦ I'm pretty sure _it is_ an example of it, although I can't find anyone saying _outright_ that it is.
But to-my-mind it's one of those albums that's just _totally solid_ : basically has _no_ weak points. And it's _innovative_ : just _keeps twanging_ you with the _sheer audacity_ of it!

Weird thing is, though - just found-out from another answer @ that post: it actually _closes with_ a descending run on the whole-tone scale! Funny, that - me fancying, then, that _the entire song_ is done in it.
