Spooky Sounds

Tonight, I'm headed over to do group backing vocals for the SS record. I'm pretty stoked. I should have a tale to tell afterward.

I'm not a Cheap Trick fan at all, but I heard this one while driving around Weld county today. Harpsichords can get really creepy (when they're not doing some jaunty Baroque piece). I really really dig that bass tone (12-string) a lot--it's a lot like what I've been shooting for. The coda reminds me of the first A Silver Mt. Zion record, if I'm recalling correctly. Maybe, or not (hokey fan powerpoint):



I do remember hearing this a while back, and it's totally got the creepy harpsichord thing going on. Apparently, it's an early version of "In The Light". I've always loved the greasy guitar line in the verse. Supposedly, it's an ode to Lucifer (the light?), but I don't know/care (low quality):



I'm not crazy. The coda here also has that screeching quality. I love the huge reverb. I'm assuming that those moans are electric guitars, but I could totally be off on that:
