My review is not that positive. How is this a FM EP? Lindsey songs with Stevie on it, not even Mick and John are on all tracks, wtf. I'm not familiar with Lindseys solo music and listen to this EP sadly reminds me of all my reasons for that.
It cannot be that hard to just record people playing (and we all know they are fantastic players) and/or singing and just leave it that way. The same old production tricks that made TITN unlistenable after 1988 are used again - in 2013. Why?
Miss Fantasy - nice melody, production miserable, Lindsey is just not a good singer.
Without You - the beginning sounds like a midi version of a good recording, Stevie sings to low, it would hav been better if she and Lindsey would have splitted the verses, so it sounds like she came in, sang along and left, which is probably exactly what happened. Good guitar, buried under some fairground noise.
Sad Angel - not bad, but the production....
It takes Time - Piano wanted to play "Imagine" but it was to difficult. AncientQueen falls asleep, softly weeping at the shallow lyrics, the violins, the singing voice and the tremendous boredom of it all.
