Godley creme birds prey rar6/7/2023 ![]() It is probably the best track here, with a fine vocal performance and a wall of sound style accompaniment. "Save a mountain for me" is written as a chain gang working song from the perspective of someone in prison. ![]() "Samson" is perhaps G&C's answer to "Dreadlock holiday", the song having a similar reggae style beat. "Cat's eyes" maintains the pop orientation with slightly echoed vocals and a strong hook. "Worm and the rattlesnake" on the other hand has an overtly pop orientation, the light melody and quick pace supporting a "what if" tale of missed romance. In this case, the track is devoid of musical instruments, with both Godley and Crème making the appropriate vocal noises in their place. ![]() Once again, they will shy away from anything easy preferring to record another selection of eclectic pieces which may or may not work. "My body the car" lays out the duo's stall right from the start. ![]() A drum machine is used on most tracks in place of genuine percussion, but this is really the only pandering to the overtly electronic sounds of the 80's. The duo play all the instruments (and indeed make all the sounds, see later) with the exception of some trumpet on one track. By no means an eagle, but not a turkey eitherĪlthough it was released in 1983, "Birds of prey" remains Godley and Crème's penultimate studio album at time of writing.
