I thought maybe it's the contrast of the thoroughly western rock 'n' roll progression with the thoroughly eastern timbres being too distracting but I think my problem is the rock 'n' roll just isn't what I listen to TD for, regardless of it being a novel idea for a track.
It's an OK track for me, used to play it a lot in the early 80's, but only now whenm it come up on random on the mp3 player and then I tend to skip to the next track befor it finished - one that has'nt stood the test of time for me
You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink...but if you get it to float's on it's back then you've got something...
