From the Windy & Carl 10" "A Dream of Blue" / "Kate" (c) Windy and Carl 1997 The soul sometimes loses track of the body that holds it - it wanders away to get lost in the throes of emotion, attraction, obsession. For some, life can be easily interrupted by a dream, a kiss, the look in someone's eye. You lose all direction, all sanity. Sleepless nights, fits of laughter, a haze of instability that brings out centuries old instincts. The songs I heard were about that loss, or that gain, the decision being up to you. Life is not the same for all of us - make of it what you will. That's what I thought of the Vertical Smile that night. Thanks to Arnie for sending that. The band played: Repeat To Fade Nothing Lasts That Long Wipe Your Smile(Dreaming Neon) One Big Comedown Luke's Tune If You Don't Smile, I'll Make You Cry
The Korg Ms-20 is a vintage Korg Synthesizer. All kinds of beastly noises and effects can be created with it. Guitars can be patched through it. It is mentioned here as it has frequented the music of the Vertical Smile, most effectively during the recording of the experimental avant garde noise tune, "I Touched Your Hair" and "Durban Experiment" where the Ms-20 really gets put through it's paces.
