Musically is superior to other tracks in Ghost Sonata.
In The Ghost Sonata the music gets its power. Catalyst hits the heart. Simple and heartfelt closing track The Cascade closes Ghost Sonata on a high note. Music Number Two is a marvelous song and it grows on you. An Affair At The Soiree is the most memorable and astounding. A Drowning is another strong production from Tuxedomoon. I love the melodic melody of A Mystic Death and to this day it makes me feel good. In Basso Pomade (Dogs Licking My Heart) full palet of sound is used by Tuxedomoon to accentuate the presentation. Licorice Stick Ostinato - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Music in The Laboratory (Parts 1 & 2) is gorgeous as in all tracks of Ghost Sonata. Music and lyrics of Les Odalisques creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is An Unsigned Postcard because the melody in the chorus is so good. Music Number Two (Reprise) gets you up and jumping.
