I'm at CD-Now taking in the 30 sec samples. Man, I don't think I can take more than that amount of timing with song titles such as: Cowbells Shakin' (the angst of unemployment in an urban environ by an 'auslander') The Lights of Cincinnati (probably the glare from Riverfront Stadium) The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime) OY!! The Seventh Seal (remember SCTV's "Dr. Tongue's House of Horrors"? oooohhhh) The World's Strongest Man (make that - the world's strangest man) and many, many more....& if you order right now - you'll also receive...!!! whoa, whoa, wait a minute! Got carried away there! Whew!!
I don't hear Prey in the voice...then again, I never heard Prey sing pop-Deutsch tunes. Maybe I'll try later today. I do hear is what possibly could have influenced Englebert Humperdinck. But Walker sounds like he's on valium most of the time or is it the arrangement? OTOH, Humperdinck & Tom Jones (moreso) sang withmass quantities of testoterone "en la voce" and performance.
Thanks, Mike for the heads up on "Scott Engel"!
