daryl hall - sacred songs

whoa

This album is amazing.

Finally found a copy of this in the wild last weekend -- I had read about it before, but I didn't expect that I'd love it so much.

I think this record has finally given me a proper appreciation for Fripp. He takes a fairly meat-and-potatoes rock song like "Survive" and just drizzles these sublime harmonics all over it, and it totally elevates the material.

It's too bad it didn't work out -- I'm now convinced that Hall & Fripp would've been way more interesting than Hall & Oates, but apparently RCA just wasn't havin it.
