The Eyes - When The Night Falls

[fange]

I think it is all kinds of wonderful. So much of what was good about '65.



What do you think?

[Rayge]

Don't remember this from the time, which is mildly surprising to me at least, because 1965 was peak listening for me. The 'psychedelics' – or well moody guitar solo as the nomenclature was at the time – and the harp are both rather nice, and kind of ahead of their time - in fact, before the latter came in, I could imagine this as the slow one on a John's Children album. Song isn't too shabby either.
I voted Good.

[naughty boy]

Good to great. 'You're Too Much' was even better.

It's funny because if I had to pick just one Eyes track I'd go for "I'm Rowed Out", which just goes to show how good their singles were ( even though there were only 4 I think!). Each one captured the moment perfectly. I love pretty much everything they did. It's not music you can analyse with any great insight, it's just there and perfect in its way.

Don't remember this from the time.

I'm not surprised as their records did nothing chart wise. I don't know if they'd have got much play on the pirates. They were fixtures on London club scene for a while, so I'd imagine that's where people might have encountered them.

Their singles will occasionally pop up on 60's Mod or R&B comps, but even now they seem to get little exposure, sadly.

[The Modernist]

They're crying out to be used on a "cool" film soundtrack aren't they? I guess it'll happen at some point.

[fange]

For sure.

They're crying out to get even a bit of attention on BCB, ffs - only 6 votes so far.

[The Modernist]

We used to talk about them more when Skope was here.

[fange]

Yeah, plus the Bee Gees and Honeybus.

[Rayge]

Yeah, plus the Bee Gees and Honeybus.

Every cloud...

[fange]

[naughty boy]

That's it, yeah.

We need limited edition 27 disc boxed sets before artists are worthy of discussion on YY.

[clive gash]

We?

[Tom Waits For No One]

ok - like The Who on Horlicks

[clive gash]

My thoughts

(1) why didn’t I get a birthday thread?
(2) how can I attract a bit of attention? Guitar thread?
(3) I know, Julian Cope’ll get me some bites!
(4) still bald

Mmmmm... Horlicks.

My thoughts

(1) it's a great song
(2) they released some great singles
(3) the rest of their stuff is underwhelming
(4) looks like Gash has come to Coan's aid. Hooray! Maybe I'll read his posts one day.

There we go, that's the spirit!

Yes, yes, yes!


I think the rule is for it to be followed by Grounded by The Syn ...

Oh yeah!

And then 'Created By Clive' - which version?
