Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
The dreamy, swinging Around the Fur single that pairs a clean, chorus-washed verse with a crushing Drop C# chorus. Stephen Carpenter played it on a 6-string ESP Horizon Custom with Seymour Duncan JB humbuckers — this is pre-EMG Carpenter — into an ADA MP-1 rack preamp and a Marshall 9200 power amp, with a Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz for the gritty bite. Producer Terry Date kept it dry so the swing between shimmer and slam lands. Drop C#: C#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#.
