Song Review

Bad Vultee is a song on the SSV album. It is the fourth track on the LP and CD.
The song has a few different synth lines, some at the start sounding rather uplifting,
making Bad Vultee one of the better songs on the SSV album.

Music: P. Bellendir / Lyrics: T. Schroeder

Vultee was an old aircraft firm, the idea of the song being a lot of "measurements" is
somewhat reminiscent of the Gift song, Finland Red, Egypt White.

The following verse sounds phased and flanged, so it's a little hard to hear what's being said
