With just enough prog thrown in

Doug the classical composer reacts to Arrogant Boy and Guilt Trippin’, and gives a highly technical analysis of what went into both compositions. Brush up on your Phrygian tetrachords beforehand.

Thanks to Manic Miner for the heads-up.

    will Doug find it all too ‘trippy’ and light up a pipe to two? Can we listen to the new DP album while heavily stoned? It may sound better, it may not. Should we listen to music stoned or should we remain ‘straight’ and cast a critical ear or two over proceedings. I don’t mind Doug occasionally, is it because he is a stoner? Not really, but I can understand him lighting up occasionally, depending on the music and the vibe at the time. Any punters here stoned while listening to the new DP album? “Jeepers creepers Batman, these aficionados at THS site are into it big time”. ‘You could be right Robin’, however don’t get too excited, the jury is still out as to whether they know what they are on about”. Stay tuned folks, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

    Thanks for Doug’s take on these two new songs, I enjoyed that. It has been quite a while since I have watched a video of him taking on a few classics. Cheers.
