TWO SPLENDID SONGS

.-  ' NIGHT SCENTED STOCK ' by Kate Bush [1980]

Appearing toward the end of third studio album Never For Ever, ' Night Scented Stock ' is Kate Bush at her ethereal best.

With her wordless layered vocals screaming to joust with one another as they soar and fall, this is the perfect palate cleanser before the final two tracks.

.-  ' 50% ' BY GRANDADDY [ 2006 ]

Almost the polar opposite of '' Night Scented Stock ', ' 50% ' is a distorted, in-your-face, assault on the senses, where singer-songwriter Jason Lytle challenges himself to write a song with '' Fifty per cent less words.''

Less than what, exactly remains unclear, as the song comes to an abrupt end, but it scarcely matters. And yes - the song's running time is technically 1m 02s, but who's really counting.
