Comments for Magnetic Fields, Wayward Bus, The

With the release of THE WAYWARD BUS, Stephin Merritt completely acknowledges hisdebt to Phil Spector, utilizing not only Phil`s arrangement style, but also by borrowing the opening guitar phrase from the Crystals "Then He Kissed Me." Stephin`slater albums offer a larger scope of musical constructions, but at this point heis still sticking largely with the archetypal pop-song.
