This is a strange release (2 of 2) that won't immediately ensnare you, especially if you are expecting Forever Changes. My initial reaction to hearing the disc was negative. It's raw. The vocals are a little wonky at times. What made Love great is there, though. There is complexity to the songwriting process. After giving the disc some time, you know why Arthur Lee worked with this guy. You can certainly hear the show tunes and jazz influence that shows up in songs like Orange Skies and Alone Again Or. The changes are odd. Bryan Maclean was unique. I don't play the Maclean demo cds (there are 2 on Sundazed) all of the time, but when I pull them out every once in a while, take a deep breath and really listen, the rough songs are real gems. Interesting for songwriters and Love fans.
