The retro stylings of MOTR got me wondering what the record might have looked like if released in, say, 1976 as a single vinyl album. Were I in the position of sequencing it, I'd probably end up with:
SIDE ONE
1. Man on the Rocks 2. Moonshine 3. Nuclear 4. Irene 5. Castaway
SIDE TWO
1. Sailing 2. Dreaming in the Wind 3. Minutes 4. Chariots 5. I Give Myself Away
A powerful side 1, and a somewhat balmier side 2. Following the Angels had to go as it's subject matter would have been impossible in '76, plus I do kind of think I Give Myself Away is too similar in mood for them to both find a place.
Do you think as an album this would have worked?
Hmmm... might have to try this as a playlist.
