King For A Day is less ambitious, although for the duration of the opening track "Vanitas", he appears to have shoved the bar that bit higher, with lyrics in Biblical Latin, an opening passage like Pentangle playing chamber-jazz, building to a climax of full-on prog-guitar riffing, before gliding out on a coda of acoustic guitar and birdsong. Sadly the rest of the album falls short of that standard, with charmless songs about things like bohemian transgression, gay dating prospects, and celebrity cultists having babies interspersed with more agreeable instrumental entr'actes like the Zappa-esque guitar number "Sinking Ship" and "A Glimpse Of Paradise". But there's no shock or awe involved, these over-burdened arrangements doing only what is signified from the very outset.
