Expansives - Life With You ....

Melody reminiscent of Freak Out by Chic, with some Bee Gees-style falsetto stylings on the chorus sucking you deeper into the vortex. Thanks to my imaginary youtube friend 0x51d for the tip. Ripped from the reissue on Panama Records. Also, "The Expansives." Best band name I've heard in a while.

"Listening to-night to the names of all those great singers of the past it seemed to me, I must confess, that we were living in a less spacious age. Those days might, without exaggeration, be called spacious days: and if they are gone beyond recall let us hope, at least, that in gatherings such as this we shall still speak of them with pride and affection, still cherish in our hearts the memory of those dead and gone great ones whose fame the world will not willingly let die."

--James Joyce, The Dead, 1904
