Song is dense, in a good way.
The layered harmonies, a few guitars, harpsichord, and layered vocals. Plus, a pennywhistle solo!
Must have taken at least a week to record it.

I just read the Wiki.
The musicians were mostly studio cats. They probably knocked it off in a couple takes.
Still, 18 hours of singing? Yikes!

Very precise players for sure, but I've never been a fan.
They were pros but nothing they ever played on popped for me.
