MP3: The Plan - Walk for gold
I was going to post something completely different today, but the good folks as Razzia had to ruin my plans by sending me The Plan's new single "Walk for gold". Bummer, huh? Some history: The Plan was started by ex-Broder Daniel bassist Theodor Jensen back around 2001 and have released two previous albums, "The plan" in 2001 and "Embrace me beauty" in 2004. Common consensus says the records are merely so-so, the first one being the better of the two, but the singles ("Mon amour", "Let's leave", etc.) have all been great. So does "Walk for gold" hold up? Well, it's less of a direct Stokes rip, so that's good. I also appreciate the faster tempo. The best thing about though has to be the end when the vocal chorus comes in after the noisy solo sounding like something out of a Morricone soundtrack. After that I can't help but think of the Prospector on "The Simpsons" who shoots his guns in the air and exclaims "Gold!" Now, I can't be sure that's what Theodor was going for, but I like it.
