From COSMIK DEBRIS; OCTOBER, 1995 (Issue # 5)
"JOE EMERY: I totally agree with this. A great vocal song can be significant
to people in any number of ways in that it's about something and can
trigger any cool memory. But instro stuff can be about ANYTHING -- even
if you know what the Shadows' "Apache" or the Nautiloids' "Nautiloid
Reef" or even "The Lonely Bull" are written about, the fact that there
is a great catchy tune and no vocals leaves so much open to individual
interpretation. I love vocal stuff as much as instro stuff but you say
so much more when you are just playing a melodic song without words.
This especially seems significant nowadaze when you hear so many crap
"alternative" bands out there (read: Bush, Nine Inch Nails, Ned's Atomic
Dustbin) with absolutely nothing to say, who nonetheless sing like what
they're singing is oh so important."
