Smokeless Zone

One record was enough...

About Me


He was heading out of the record store when the display caught his eye: Smokeless Zone... a broken heart on a black background... (We Should Be) Together. Intrigued, he picked up the 45, flipped it over, and noticed that Jim Hodgkins and Scott Sullivant apparently were Smokeless Zone. "Well," he thought, "I always did like Practical Stylists, this might be worth checking out." At home, he put it on his turntable, but not before noticing the song's time: 5:02. "Pretty long", he muttered. "I wonder what's in these grooves?" The needle hit the vinyl. Entranced by the subtle interplay between the electric and acoustic guitars, he sat and listened for the lyrics:
I sit and watch the wall
See my reflection there
I'm waiting for your call
I sit and watch the signs
And wonder where is mine
'Cause we should be togther
Then the drums came in and the song started to move in several directions, speeding up, slowing down, Scott's vocals flowing in and out of the instruments. The sound built, burst, and continued, soaring onward to the end which, despite the 5:02 time, seemed to come all too soon. He played it over. And over. In a short while it had become embedded in his mind and on his turntable. He had entered the Smokeless Zone..... -- Nashville Intelligence Report
