Long Face Syndrome
“Facelift” and “Slightly All the Time” are the platforms for sonic experimentations – great variety of then new synthetic sounds mixed with the highly psychedelic saxophone create a really spaced out soundscapes. “Moon in June” is an eccentric ballad boasting the highly mannered vocals: “On a dilemma between what I need and what I just want between your thighs I feel a sensation, how long can I resist the temptation? I've got my bird, you've got your man so who else do we need, really?” And “Out-Bloody-Rageous” often resembles a flock of hungry birds. Sometimes avant-garde, sometimes vaguely jazzy and sometimes proggy Third is a truly innovative album.
