THE DIVINE COMEDY: "ASSUME THE PERPENDICULAR"

Mi preferida del último disco, y una de las mejores de toda la obra de TDC. Se toca con transporte en 3, porque está en Sol menor, aunque así nomás suena bien también. Acá una versión de piano solo a cargo de Mr. Hannon (con pifia muy graciosa en el medio); en su defecto, a continuación, el original:
