After spending some more time with this album, I think I may have underestimated how much I like it. I'm having trouble thinking of the last time I listened to an album from a newish bad that I liked this much. Maybe Teen Dream by Beach House, which was like 12 years ago? This may be the best album I have heard since then. It's a good combo of art and post-rock with an extra layer of baroque strings and saxophone mixed in. The songs have a warmth to them without being too pretentious or coldly technical, which sometimes prevents me from really getting into a lot of these types of bands (which includes their first album from last year). This one is a masterpiece.
Yea, I got the Dukes of Stratosphear compilation album and already had all their other studio albums. I am going to continue to keep them in the rotation as unfortunately, outside of Skylarking and Oranges and Lemons, I have neglected their other albums. But neglect no more!
That might have been the only song that stood out for the Amboy Dukes. I really liked his album with Stranglehold and didn't have as much interest in his later albums.

Still love that Stranglehold album (sic), but feel guilty when I play it... Anyone else watch Floyd in the rain at Jeppesen stadium? https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/concerts/pink-floyd-jeppessen-stadium-houston-tx-april-30th-1977.html
Was watching a film production studio break down Tarantino films, scripts, and camera viewpoints, which led to listening to Jim Croce in one of the scenes and then other tracks.
