The notes recently put up on the official website for Close to You closes with the following paragraph:
"A perfect example of pretentious, wacky 60s musical abandon, it is complete with a recitative (lifted from Handel) and extended solo backside. Karen’s and my multi-tracked vocal break, which precedes the Borodin-inspired penultimate section, however, is still thrilling to listen to."
It appears to me that Richard is referring to a specific song here, not the album in general, but it isn't clear from the preceding paragraph which song is being referenced—although I assume it's "Another Song". Can anyone here who has a stronger musical background than I do verify this and, while you're at it, tell me what it means?
Thanks,
Tony
