Kater Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Those songs had to be recorded simple and stripped, in a way of 70's and 80's music.Peoplwe would love them more, hear them , musically and lyrically understand them and CD would be appreciated more among new and old fans.What a shame and waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Gareth's covers have always a pretty moody feel, but I love his arrangements. His covers of Locomotive and Prostitute are stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSoftie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 IIRC it was Madagascar that BBF commented on. Shacklers is pretty cool too, really creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
