Re: Cowgirl...the debate...versus Rez
Head-to-head, i think "Cowgirl" is a more pounding, anthemic track. The record version of "Rez", is mostly pretty "mimby-pimby", to quote Rick Smith. I'll grant you that it blisters live, sure. "Cowgirl" on the other hand builds more quickly and contains more elements. The vocoded lyrics carry a lot of menace, which i like, and i'm always floored by the dropped beat just as Karl sings "this electric stream" and the reemergence of pounding bass at "tears in league with wires and energy"
