I believe that jbeadle was simply stating that he/she liked the tune. But feel free to lie and say absolutely nothing if you don't like a song. Otherwise, one day, following a harrowing plane crash, you might find yourself lost on a mysterious island with a bunch of total strangers. And you will ask yourself...well....what the hell is this place and how do I get out of here?

I love Florida Tim's description of the trumpet...."sort of a slacker, alt hip>ie chic, panhandling trumpet player vibe"
It's hard to teach that brand of creative writing

That's an awesome point, otomi.  Thinking about it some more, I realized that the chain metaphor is only applicable when the goal is perfection.  When striving for perfection, if any element in the group attempting to achieve it fails, then the group effort fails, as a chain breaks if its weakest link does.

Perfection is rarely music's goal; rather, it's usually "better than before" or simply "different and interesting" .

I'm a bit of a simpleton, but the chain only works for me when trying to drive a cog.

If one thinks about it, the chain metaphor (often used in corporate circles to brainwash employees) doesn't work very well when describing groups of human beings working toward a common goal. Almost any process is more complex than a chain and, needless to say, a human being is far more complex than a link in a chain. People can adapt to situations and work around problems, while chains merely break.

Let's call a spade a spade. The trumpet sucks. It should have been a highlight. You're only as strong as your weakest link.

How did this song leave the studio with such a bad track?

What were they thinking?

It could have been quite good.

Not sure I understand.  All this time I've been marveling at the tone and control of the player on this particular 'track'.  I may be completely mistaken, but I think that this player did a good enough job on this song to not have to put up with this sort of ill informed criticism.  I've played with enough trumpet and flugel players at professional and semi professional levels to know that what you're hearing here is not as easy as it must sound.  I wish I could play with this sort of sensitivity.

FWIW, my favorite Oi Va Voi tune, by a long shot, because of the horn.

the trumpet sounds like a sample from some old vinyl used to add texture, and it plays a pretty minimal part in the song overall...RP listeners protest too much, methinks.

Saw them a couple of weeks ago in a one-off gig at the West London Synagogue.  Believe me, you won't find a better venue - magical!  Fabulous performance with the new singer Bridgette Amofah and violinist Anna Phoebe taking the group in a whole new direction - from Refugee to Yuri seems a lengthy journey, but the new tracks from the forthcoming album, Travelling The Face Of The Globe (released early next year) take them somewhere else completely.  The best and most innovative and inventive group in Britain, bar none.  I've got a couple of tracks from the new album, so I'll upload them to see what B&R think of them in the LRC before the album comes out.
