a few diamonds in a bunch of rough
Ok this collection is for completists only. Many of the tracks are noise tracks/ failed experiments and embarassing poetry, but there are a few tracks worth hearing. Perhaps 10 of these are worth your ears. "raise your hand" is quite a track with a pretty chord progression and typical early barlow love song, but the end of the song is what makes it - a chant of syllables...'ace uh gaah mooo ann' that repeats. After hearing this a few times it becomes stuck in your head. Also, "heartness crane" is fantastic, with one of barlow's more original melodies sung in a crooning fashion. Other good tracks "nothing every lasts" "be nice to me," "God won't let you die" and "never tried," "no way at all" There are a handful of others, but they are not worth the downloads to hear random noises and stream of consciousness lyrics.
