    I guess I could listen to the youtube links but when I settle in to listen to an album I like it in the order the artist intended and consistent quality. Album club recommendations deserve that.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    Exclamation Alternative video clips for 'Blues Section'

    There seems to be a problem with Spotify regarding 'Blues Section' – the tracks are listed but the songs are "not available to UK users".

    In lieu of this, eight out of the twelve tracks of the album are available on You Tube. Roughly in order of appearance, they are:


    Answer to Life


    Wolf At The Door


    End Of A Poem


    Please Mr Wilson and Apartment 51


    One More For The Road


    Call Me On Your Telephone


    Hey Hey Hey



    I hope this now helps Members enjoy Mika's choice of ‘Blues Section’ a little better and so allow them to vote.

    I listened to all the YouTube clips. Blues Section, clearly were an interesting group in their day, but their sound has suffered with the passsage of time. I found it sounded rather dated.

    There was one stand-out track: the bluesy 'One More For The Road'.

    Based on what I heard, I'm going to rate it 6/10.

    I listened to 2 tracks and that was enough for me tbh. Call me on the telephone really grated, and sounded like a bad mix from the 60's recorded in a club. As Barry says, they may have sounded more original in their day. I would give it 5

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Had a listen to the You Tube tracks and sorry this isn't for me. It's very derivative of quite a few bands of the time and overall quiet a weak album, with no strong identity of its own.

    I know holding a favourite album up for others to scrutiny is fraught with risk when others just don't get it, sorry I just don't see the merit here.

    1 out of 10


    Regards Neil
