popkidüberraschend gute single auch für mich, wo ich sie vor drei wochen in london doch nur mitgenommen habe, weil dick 1 pfund drauf stand.

Da hattest Du wohl instinktiv einen guten Griff getan.
„What You Could’ve Won“ aus 2006 gefällt mit auch gut. „What Will You Do“ ist sogar noch besser.

otisHörst du alle 4 Ex-Voto Stücke auf gleich hohem Niveau, Sweetheart? Für mich fällt die zweite Seite ein ganz klein wenig ab.

Ich finde sie sind in der Lage das Niveau über beide Seiten zu halten. Höre keine Schwächen auf der B-Seite.
Die Weiterentwicklung des Duke-typischen Sounds (z.B. durch die Bläser bei „Lassoo“) ist durchaus gelungen. Selbst nach mehrmaligem Hören verspüre ich den Drang sie wieder zu hören. Für mich nach wie vor äußerst geheimnisvolle, ja süchtig machende Musik. Bin schon sehr gespannt auf den Gig in Oxford.
