T Rex (1972) Spaceball Richochet

A marvellous Marc Bolan patented cosmic folk ballad, SR is a throwback to the quirky acoustics of Tyrannosaurus Rex but with his new incarnation's love of eastern tinged strings and doo-wop vocals. The strong mystic vibe is entrancing though the lyrics still bare his light hearted brand of cynicism. The electric guitar also carries that stilted dirge like quality of 70s glam rock that reminds me of the horns of Memphis soul, it definitely adds an air of fatalism to this track and the similar Life's a Gas.
