BFD's attempt to align themselves with that struggle - with a nod to Rosie the Riveter.Blue 4 U - On mass media's ability to manufacture personal disquiet and a desire to escape - \"affectionate propaganda\" becoming suffocating, answered with open minds and open hearts. Written well before algorithms and AI.Hesitate - The band's attempt at a Chic-style arrangement, about putting things off until \"mañana.\"Rain Song - A celebration of Edinburgh's micro-climate, four seasons in a day, and one of the album's few strictly narrative lyrics, inspired by August Darnell and film noir.Wild Jazz Summers - Title lifted from a Tennessee Williams biography. An attempt at West Side Story meets beat poetry, with a Hammond B organ outro.BFD - In their later days, the band closed live sets with this percussion-heavy number, breaking the fourth wall in a manner indebted to the Sun Ra Arkestra.Get Off Your Ass And Jam - A loose, live take on the Funkadelic tune, capturing the band's earliest iteration - recorded at their first ever hometown gig.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 A1.
