The extraordinary thing about the clowns is how Ed makes his vocal function like a bass line, thereby highlighting the melody, the song structure, the notes hit by the other instruments, and the rhythm, pace and feel of each song. The vocals, where we expect them to become the centrepiece, as in most music, are a part of the 'cake' , not the icing.
Took me a long time to realise this, but I always knew the Clowns were brilliant, but am now starting to understand why.
