days. Swallow is structured much in
the same way, with prevalence now of
the bass, now of the saxophone, now
of the guitar, with a few moments of
meditation that in this case breaks the
rhythm. Jazz drumming at the opening of Modern Seducer, which then
opens to the bottom and turn on the
engines of a very aggressive and quite
acidic song, with pretty vintage electronic interventions. Totally instrumental

find space other flavors that are between soul and rock, with some quick

suddenly and it enter guitars, drumming and
horn on a sound inspired by progressive rock.
At least until he enters a female soul choir
soul 70s, tempered by a nonsense song in Latin. Following is M.D. (featuring Ike Willis),
with instrumental prolusions interrupted by a
dialogue. It’s almost obvious to point out the
influences of Zappa on the track, but also on
the album in general. The text shows clearly
enough the earning prospects of a band these
