... don't. Take Imagination by Belouis Some for example, yes it has synthesizers in it. This just reminds me of the sort of tune Harvester pubs would have had as a background to their adverts. Then there is Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune) - It's Immaterial. What in heaven's name does pseudo C&W track have to do with an album called It's Electric?? But that isn't the icing on the cake.
