H ello. How are you? If you’re feeling blue, this gilded throwback from the Light brigade will have you floating on clouds. There’s always been something wonderfully alien about this track, the vocals sung slightly beyond the regular human register and synthesizers joining sweet violins like angels and gargoyles in a baroque alliance. The single actually shaves about a half-minute from the original by excising the intro and the fade. The flip side is “Poorboy (The Greenwood)” from Eldorado.
