Notes and Quotes: "Albatross"

Recorded without Jeremy Spencer (whose specialty was slide guitar).
The music consists primarily of two chords: E+7 and F#-.
Green seems to be referring to the albatross in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The music attempts to create a kind of tropical seascape, with one guitar in the musical foreground and the other, in a reverberated distance commenting.
