about

This was one of the last songs I wrote for The Bud Collins Trio and it appeared on our June 1989 release 'Shaky Town' only about a month before I left the band. I believe Chris Duers came up with the title but the lyrics are about trying to be everything to everybody. The music was heavily influenced by Todd Rundgren and I suppose marks a shift back towards writing more keyboard-oriented tunes after several years of taking advantage of the considerable guitar strengths present in The Bud Collins Trio (and also I was playing more guitar than keyboards in the 80s).

lyrics

dial up a face it all depends on just how I'd like you to react you think you know me you only know the part of me that's dealing with you give a little sign and I can hopefully select the right thing to say say don't point at me 'cause you're guilty of it too the diplomatic approach has begun to erode my identity and I'm not sure how to be myself anymore guess I'll just have to stick to the repertoire and just blend in it really can be fun to have to be someone who'd actually make me ill call me what you want say I'm a yes-man coward totally insincere but I'll get what I want and sadly you'll end up looking like a stubborn fool

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 4 fans who also own “Turning Invisible”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

Decade Reference
by Salmon

supported by 4 fans who also own “Turning Invisible”

This is a brilliant album - really really brilliant! In my opinion, it's even better than its follow-up "When The Dust Settles...", although this is hard to imagine. On "Decade Reference", everything just falls into place - the exquisite compositions, the great vocals, a stunning guitar sound, many exciting keyboard arrangements... a real joy to my ears, which have to witness too much musical garbage nowadays in exactly this genre. Too bad that "Salmon" obviously has done these two albums only... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

The Fading Ghosts of Yesterday (EP)
by Fractal Mirror

supported by 4 fans who also own “Turning Invisible”

I'm a long-time fan of Dutch prog - an affection that dates back to the 70's when "Focus", "Kayak", and "Finch" issued their legendary albums, and that was nourished over time by newer bands like "Trion", "Flamborough Head", "Us", "Like Wendy"... and "Fractal Mirror", of course. Dutch prog usually exposes a highly developed passion for great melodies and lush, classically oriented orchestration. The endlessly meandering vocal and instrumental lines, as well as the overwhelming mellotron arrangements found everywhere on this four-track EP, are a perfect example. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
