...'dark horse, running on a dark race course'. Musically this is another high point, with a subtly funky tempo, and flutes adding a faintly Eastern flavour. Unfortunately, it's almost 'Dark Hoarse'. He was under pressure to record the album quickly for release prior to his US tour, despite an attack of laryngitis. On several tracks you can hear his voice is flat and below par, particularly here. Someone forgot the lemsip.
'Far East Man' was co-written ... ...the credits, 'Ron Would if you let him'. Hee hee). One of those introspective songs about 'doing what we can in a war-ravaged world', it's pleasant, if rather less than inspired.
Finally, 'It Is he (Jai Sri Krishna)' is George back in Eastern mysticism mood. Let's not knock the man for his beliefs, but - well - after hearing it once you might not want to bother again.
So overall in my view, two great numbers, two good ones, though one is marred ...
