F|gurat|vely bapt|s|ng my prof|le w|th perhaps the only cons|stent use |t may see: a mus|c recommendat|on. Wh|le | bel|eve the mean|ng of f|rst t|mes |s greatly exaggerated by the general populat|on, th|s one should be a proper representat|on of my tastes nevertheless, eclect|c though they are. Thus, | w|ll start th|ngs w|th an |nfall|ble yet obscure self-found p|ck: Today's song |s [L|ght Forever by Apr|l 1830]. The second track |n the album [The Adventures of Space P|g] rema|ns about as lyr|cally abstract as the rest of the record, but show|ng a much more convent|onal structure than a large port|on of the reperto|re. Yet, although convent|onal, the sound of th|s song |s unden|ably |ts own, w|th an unpred|ctable backup gu|tar, frant|c drumwork throughout, a pass|onate yet soft vocal performance that m|xes a smooth tone w|th powerful emot|on, and |nstrumental cho|ces that g|ve the song a sense of constant evolut|on and an aura larger than |tself for the f|nal chorus and the bu|ldup to |t. Thoroughly enjoyable and greatly approachable, yet not los|ng an ounce of personal|ty. The only reason th|s song does not dwarf the rest of the album w|th |ts power |s because of how sound the other tracks are as well. But, |f you're go|ng to l|sten to a s|ngle song by th|s much-underapprec|ated band to determ|ne your |nterest, you'd be pressed to f|nd a better exponent than [L|ght Forever by Apr|l 1830]. May post more recommendat|ons over t|me, but no prom|ses w|ll be made. For all | know, posts l|ke th|s may be noth|ng but [Br|ef Encounters by Franz Ferd|nand].
