Free Music Notes for Boy with a CoinFree Music Review: Kingdom of the Animals is a Bside from the best of the 45s daysThere was a time, when the Bsides on 45s, were one of the major reasons to buy the single. Some of the Bsides that werent on albums, were highlights of the Beatles careers, like INNER LIGHT, the rock version of REVOLUTION, Rain and Old Brown Shoe, etc. On this CD single, Sam Beam did the very same thing. He released what might just be one of his most spacey songs ever written, and certainly one of the longest ones as well. KINGDOM OF THE ANIMALS starts out, nice keyboard driven song, great lyrics, and then, during its six plus minute length, slowly evaporates. There is so much SPACE in the way this song is put together, that its practically a form of PSYCHEDELIC DUB FOLK music. The bass part is just a tiny walkdown, four notes, repeated once every four measures. (the rest of the time, there is no bass part.) the keyboard parts thin out, and creep up the keyboard to disappear into the ethers as well. Do you know the song by Van Morrison on ASTRAL WEEKS, that just drifts away into the heavens at the songs end, with the various textures just dropping away to earth, as the song, the singer, and the listener sort of ascends upwards? It works exactly like that song, but with more of the digtal age and RADIOHEADS etheric experiments informing this song by IRON AND WINE. It could have easy made it onto the SHEPARDS DOG CD, except it might have been thought, that the length ,and the very airy quality of the song (which didnt get that quality from acoustic guitar picking with slide guitar, they way this band normally achieves it) was too far out, and too far away from the style of the CD as a WHOLE. So, it was left off. AND, like STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, its not on an IRON AND WINE full length album. Actually, at this point, I think that the tracks from the EPs IN THE REINS, WOMAN KING, and these B sides from CD singles, the extra tracks on the european releases, and the B sides from the singles ought to be formed into a full length album. After all, isnt this what the Beatles MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR LP was? An EP, with a grouping of Singles, and thats a great album. Its a shame, that all these EPs, singles, etc have to be tracked down, and made onto a collection by the indivitual fan. IRON AND WINE are one of those fantastic, magical bands, where everything deserves to be heard. If you love the SPEPARDS DOG CD, buy this single for the two extra tracks. I can guarentee you, they are NOT the dreck left over from the recording sessions.
