independent fellers - independent ladee
Eno said Donna's "State of Independence" was the best single of the year.
I wonder if he'd have said the same of Jon & Vangelis's original, if he'd have heard it.
I think I might prefer the original
Both have that odd loping, chuntering groove.
What is the lyric about then? If it's Jon it's probably something New Agey or hippy-dippy.
I have never properly "done" Yes (I've done a cursory whizz through the famous albums, surprised to find some of it rather rhythmically dynamic and groovy, but never returned)
but I do have this on vinyl and rather like it
