On the “Alley Cat” A-side of this single, Bent Fabric lays down a sinuous, slow-strutting line on the piano, with minimal drum and guitar backing lending it a nice jazz aura.  “Markin’ Time”, the B-side, takes a similar approach but ups the drum presence and straightens out the piano-lines into a clear progression from point A to point B.  Enjoyable on both fronts, but low on depth.
