Happy 10th Birthday Translucent Soul! (prize today!)
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:44 am
Folks,
Translucent Soul was released ten years ago today on Sept. 15, 1998! How can that possibly be???
Translucent Soul was the first CD that I bought in real-time....and I played it over and over again. I remember lying on the floor to “feel” the bass…..which was/is awesome! One line of lyric from “Seven” became my mantra:
“I’m letting go because holding on’s killing me.”
The first person to correctly answer the following ten Translucent Soul questions will win a copy of The Times They Are A Changin’: A Tribute to Bob Dylan, Vol. 2 (Sister Ruby Records, 1994). The CD, truly a collectors’ item, includes tracks from, among others, Richard Shindell, Kristian Bush, John Gorka, and our very own Ellis Paul doing a unique version of Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.”
1. Name the person who produced Translucent Soul.
2. Name the female who does the ethereal background vocals on “Angel in Manhattan”.
3. Name the fella who provided “God-like bass goodies”.
4. Name the song that mentions John Lennon.
5. Name the song that includes the line: “he’s in an emotional prison; the self-inflicted kind”.
6. Name the song that is arguably Ellis’ best-known song.
7. The title track is about Ellis’ friendship with whom?
8. Name the song that includes the line: “I can hear a cricket in your 5th floor apartment.”
9. When Ellis and Christopher Williams challenged each other to write a song about a city they visited together, this song was the result.
10. A live version of this song appears on WYEP’s Live and Direct, Volume 1.
Good Luck!
If you don't care to answer the trivia questions, please do chime in with any thoughts/memories you may have about the CD!
