Thanks so much justdrew for the tunes (loved the Melanie Safka one) and Allegro for taking the time to tell me all that. By 'slip' I wasn't talking about the bassline, I meant the intervals in the higher voice parts: in Big City Life the interval on "be a friend of mine" and on Dry Your Eyes on "it's over". I think it is a descending portamento, but maybe the notes are all in the same octave. It's not so much just about those bits though, I love that kind of way of singing, can't find a better way to describe it than 'plaintive'.

There's a great short story by Anthony Burgess (a good composer himself) called 1889 and the Devil's mode about the Montmartre set and a musician who works with an interval called the Devil's mode, a diminished fifth that wasn't allowed in hymns (I went and got the book out, ha). "Music says that discords are evil, but they can be resolved into concords, which are good. And there is a final concord, an ultimate cadence, which is so good that it must be God."

Cheers!

This one with no voice but a cool aoud line, that Arab mandolin.
