The Soundproofing Barriers just single is an unequivocal case for the last peculiarity. The never-heard "She Generally Returns To Me" isn't really a terrible tune, yet is hampered by a fairly unsure, limp execution by the gathering. In the possession of Geno Washington or a Motown recording craftsman, it could have cut it, however here the vocals strain to be profound without progress, and the sponsorship is excessively free to its benefit.
What this track required was power and conviction, and what it gets is a fairweather approach. I question whether the lady being referred to really returned, and they sound more betrayed about the possibility of her returning than anything more ("Perhaps that is the point" - a voice).
Prowling on the B-side, notwithstanding, is the Little Faces and Traffic aping "Groovin' Slow" and this is a finished pleasure, Sound Barrier Mats are undeniably more remarkable and requesting on vinyl than on any contraband or semi-official hallucinogenic gathering it's shown up on throughout recent years. Pitched in the vicinity of "Languid Sunday" and "Opening In My Shoe", it's a red-blooded cockney walkabout through city life which, had it been delivered at the level of Britpop,
Would presumably have been invited as a knowing gesture and pastiche to the mid-sixties period. "Look hard and long through your-window-at-the-walkway see-the-human surging" the performer cries dangerously fast in an initial couple of moments, and the thoughtful chorale ultimately cuts in after a few additional mad lines, going about as a marginally hallucinogenic break between the expedient stanzas
