Was giving Spare Parts a spin today, and it struck me that the track When I Awake sounds like very early Pink Floyd.
Could you imagine had Quo took this path in style and continued with it?
I quite like the track, anyone else like it or hate it?

Decent early track. A little disjointed musically starts off as a floyd like psychedelic number and then goes into a big production strings and horns circa Bee Gees with a nod to to Sergeant pepper era. The lyrics and arrangement remind me a bit of Lucy in the sky with diamonds..

The lyrics and arrangement remind me a bit of Lucy in the sky with diamonds.. Yeah I agree, and definitely a period of Quo trying to find their way before they grew into the heads down and ripped jeans era. Its like the change in just one album Spare Parts and Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon was enormous. But even that took time to craft, because Dog of two heads wasn't exactly a hit, yet Piledriver really nailed it. And Hello really was Quo's finest hour. So it more or less took 4 albums to turn that new style into a winning formula. It makes me wonder had Piledriver and Hello flopped, would we not have the Quo we have today. |
