I'm finally home (!) and am here to tell you that:

"The Big Ship"
C - F - Am - F - C - G/B - Am - F
I | IV | vi | IV | I | V* | vi | IV *inversion

"Spinning Away"
A - E - F#m - D
I | V | vi | IV

so a slight difference, but in Tom D's defense, the reedy/overdriven DX-7 preset sounds remarkably similar in both tracks.


I think you will find a lot of Eno tunes use I-IV-V-vi sequences – 8M, How Many Worlds, etc. Eno loves his English hymns.

One song that hasn’t gotten enough love here is the wry (and ribald) “In the Backroom.”

bumping this thread for the "Spinning Away" chord progression soundalike... my wife's native ringtone:
