Album fatigue begins to set in this week, with mixed feelings from Sam and Martin about the third or fourth song from Blood Money dealing with the despair humanity is endlessly surrounded by. There’s some technical sonic analysis, as well as some thought about 90s images of whale-based music.
Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include:
Starving in the Belly of a Whale, Blood Money, Tom Waits (2002)
Gepetto, Star, Belly (1993)
