Hunter And The Hunted – Vocal Isolation

My favourite bits of this one are Jim’s dour, matter-of-fact delivery of “hunter and the hunted”, and that SUPER low keyboard note that is played after it. Dramatic! Those “life moves so fast” lines are so tender and beautiful though…melt.

Glittering Prize – Full Version – Vocal Isolation

This is a prime example of why (when I read the article) I thought an article I read about Jim not performing a breathy, romantic vocal until Don’t You (Forget About Me) was utter hogwash! Listen to those “catch me a dream / captured all in heart” lines. They are beautiful and tender. “Only on…
