too much saxaphone?

[burningbrain]

A Toot.

Guess it depends on how much you like the sax. For me, not too much sax please. I rather like the flute in combination with the synths.

A misplaced toot can ruin things, sure, but I maintain a bad track is a bad track, with or without sax. Regarding other rock bands that have used this instrument to good effect, may I cite Pink Floyd? The sax on Dark Side of the Moon, for example, is terrific.

I agree, and would just like to add that The Saxophone Song on the Kate Bush album The Kick Inside is another shining example.
