beautiful burnout

[Jan]

I rate Biro the Leggy higher. A shame that there is just the 96 kbps version.

Honestly, when I heard the album version the first time (from a downloaded version), I though for a moment that all the use of traditional instruments in the beginning (especially at 0:45-1:00) was the watermark...
Also I don't think the bongos blend in particularly well.

I don't think it's an awful song, but Biro the Leggy captured that special atmosphere of the song much better in it's simplicity.
BB on the other hand, with its many, many things going on, tries to much (and fails somehow). Karl repeats the lyrics so often that they almost lose their meaning and effect. The synth stabs are cool for the first time, but after the 20th listen they are just annoying.

Oh my god, I just noticed that I sound like a bad critic that BLD hates so much.
