A Lead-in question; your favourite segue

Posted by: DenisA on 19 January 2007

The first segue I became aware of was...

Colin Blunstone - Journey, featuring Wonderful; Beginning; Keep The Curtains Closed Today.
The synthesised Wonderful transistions into Beginning, then Curtains (featuring beautiful classical guitar & the Kings Singers). Colin is in top form here, althogh the rest of the album is a bit weak. I must look into ROTF's Colin Blunstone recommendations

later...

Traffic - Traffic, featuring Cryin' To Be Heard; No Time To Live.
A final Hammond maelstrom into Chris Woods French/English Horn and Steve Winwoods Piano/Hammond/voice (an all time favorite)

Badfinger - Straight Up, Money; Flying
These are two of the bonus tracks from the original Geoff Emerick sessions, a seamless transistion. Great Orchestration that brings out better versions than the Todd Rundgren & George Harrison productions. One of the most troubled albums ever made and a sorry endightment of the music industry.

The Beatles - Abbey Road, Mean Mr Mustard; Polythene Pam; She came in through the bathroom window; Golden Slumbers.
Such a natural flow here that always makes me wish I could sing like McCartney on Slumbers

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions, Living for the city; Golden Lady.
A contrasting sequence with a tale of racism then a celebration of beauty (genius)

Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light [live], Amelia; Pat's Solo
This works so well with one of Joni's greatest songs, fades then taken away under Pat Metheney's spell. If there is is one CD & DVD combo you should own, this is it.

And in the end...

The Beatles - Love, (All of it Winker)

Looking forward to other recommendations
