like a snort or a chuckle. You know the songs where he added a smile well a snort if it's heard but not seen I always thought they were very effective and different. Anyone else think so too or did they put you off? Much more effective than the talking bits now.

Ian has a sense of humour that makes music fun. Especially in videos which may be lip synched.

I love the flurry of tourettic grunts, whistles and gasps throughout the 'Under Wraps' CD...espically in the 4 extra songs.

Always thought the shout at the beginning of two fingers was classic although Steve Wilson didn't do it justice. Also the all so cold shivering brrr sounds at the end of the song are perfect. That is one great and highly underrated song.
Like the rowing chants during the great ending guitar licks from Martin in Jumpstart.
Like the "right" after the acoustic guitar middle bit in Rupi.

A bit like a war cry I've always admired the laid back vibes of "Rocks On The Road". One of IA's best IMO and a case of 'less is more'.

Hi G. Nice to hear such Tullish enthusium. I love what you are saying about always finding little things in Ians songs. That reminds me of one. I listened to "Ladies" for about 20 years when I got the little joke Ian included in the song. Anyone else get it? No one has ever mentioned it here. Are you talking about "Auld Lang Syne" dubbed in on sax at the end??? If so, I thought that I was the only one that caught that!

And talking of Auld Lang Syne he liked to add his Scottishness to songs at various times although only this one springs to mind at the moment.
The famous "Och Aye" at 2.25

My favourite of all added extras is the " typewriter" pinging "bringing dreams down to size again..."
Here around 3.07
Ahhh Pussywillow
"ping" at 0.30
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming, Cutting dreams down to size again.

Ok, Ian has a little joke in "Ladies". I never heard it mentioned here. Took me over 20 years till I got it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I think I maybe know what you mean Is it what someone says very quickly at the very end of the song after a pause? It doesn't sound like Ian. At the start of the song in what sounds like a restaurant, I can hear conversations and a woman asking "coffee darling?" before a loud "shhh"

I've found a wrong chord in the new remastered Wond'ring Aloud/Again. In the original, the piano track drops out for a second before the "excrement bubbles" line. In the new one, it doesn't drop there. Instead, you get John Evan slamming down a bad piano chord. Have a listen! If there was a thread on album boo-boos, mistakes, and flubs, I could post for days! Here's a teaser... Have a listen to "Adrift and Dumfounded". Tell me what you hear (It's an obvious mixing boo boo).

"Ladies of leisiure, With their eyes on the backroads All looking for strangers To whom they extend welcomes With a smile and a glimpse of Pink knees and elbows..." This song, as Ian so often does, contrasts the beautiful and ugliness of life but not in a heavy handed way. The "pretty" flute contrasts with the raunchy Sax. The enticing promise of Ladies and favors numbered by time. But the punch line are the series of 3 "Claps" cause that's what might be the outcome of encounters with these "Ladies"....The clap www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnGeSQLBrv4

Whose favors are numbered (none the less well intended) By hours in a minute; by those ladies who bless them. Ladies. Perhaps the music with strings by these Ladies made me fall in LOVE with this tune...sigh.

I agree...I think 'The Clap' is a nasty wink at wartime social comfort reality.

I also think 'you poor old sod you see it's only me' is built to interject the word 'sodomy' into the mix.

That short, slightly sardonic chuckle - at 4.39.
So much passion and expression in the songs.

Since I first heard it when Benefit came out and my buddies and I Rode thru Georgia and were “escorted” out of Florida by the state police to it’s exotic sound in 1970 I believe. Benefit still sounds very fresh to me.
