'honey' is positively gruesome. Francesca Gregorini's song is one of her better tunes, the demo production is a bit weak, but this track is really enjoyable. My weeping all-time-greatest Connie Francis was also featured again - anyone who hears this voice and doesn't understand why she's special must be dead, or deaf, or both. This is not her best (cover version of a Ray Price song that has must have been covered a million times), but needless to say, it's great.

I may just be ignorant, but I never felt much for Springsteen. Still don't. Plus, I think he improvised a bit and sang the line "war is something that I despise" - really... duh. I don't know the original version of this (I think by The Temptations), but here it didn't work for me. Dreamtone were interesting - did you ever wonder how a progressive Heavy Metal band would sound if Meat Loaf was singing for them? Here you go.

So, Marduk, The Beach Boys, Mozart and Joy Divison in one session - this is what we're here for :-)
