Description
On Slit Skirts, the late lift into the final chorus hits harder, the drums nudging the vocal into a weary run. Pete Townshend’s All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes is his most elliptical 80s set, full of sharp songwriting and odd grace. This half-speed mastered LP lets the space between instruments breathe and the imaging lock in. The Sea Refuses No River blooms with piano and harmonies rather than sheer volume, while Face Dances Pt. 2 jitters with wiry guitar and synth sparkle. You get the prickly humour, the self-scrutiny, and the sense of a writer pulling away from stadium habits into artier corners. For shelves parked beside early-80s Peter Gabriel, this sits comfortably but leans more sardonic and wordy. Spin it on a late Melbourne night and those melodic left turns feel surprisingly intimate. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Pete Townshend records online with us. Production-wise, detail comes forward cleanly and transients feel snappier without getting brittle. Highlights still include Slit Skirts, the hymn-like The Sea Refuses No River, and the nervy Face Dances Pt. 2, all cut here with a little more clarity. File this next to literate art-rock you actually play rather than just admire.
