Viola

For all that it was made on a relatively late recording, the viola sounds rather 'boxy' in comparison to some of its contemporary sounds. That notwithstanding, the quality of the playing itself is superb, with a style very reminiscent of John Cale.

Whilst never particularly popular as a solo sound in its own right it lends colour to other combination sounds, such as the string section and the altogether unfortunately named Dickstrings.
