Cigarette smoke lounging inside of city cab, meandering out the cracked window like a 2am drunkard slithering the rain slicked streets. Puddles reflect neon signing, endless always distant chattering.
1. Nightime Call
Intro is D-13 clashey chords including the minor 9. On guitar these chords word particularly well: xx9960 and xx7968 and xx10 10 8 12. Guitar plays some sliding 4th riffs. Horn (trumpet I think) introduced on G# to G, highlighting the #4 blue note.
