I had no trouble at all with Simon's SURPRISE, start, middle or finish.
Maybe it was the circumstances under which I first heard it: driving down a
nearly-deserted highway on a moonless midnight. Seemed to fit the resigned,
melancholic reverie mood of the songs.
Granted, the man is past his creative peak, but bringing in Brian Eno was a
great idea. Early interviews of both men played down Eno's contributions,
but I hear him all over this thing.
