"Salt The Skies"

Tortoise - Salt The Skies A live performance that is Quite rockin, although the thing about some Tortoise songs ans especially this one is that the raw rock element is lacking. It's not their fault cuz for schooled musos they do have an edge. Take this track for instance, which I dig, but the prog rock comparisons are plain to see! For instance and comparison; The 70's band Focus with their hit "Hocus Pocus" (which i like most of. Mainly the riff but then the English troll yodeling is where we enter HELL where the 'Tolken'images come to mind. All said; Tortoise is a really good band
