From masterpiece album "Pages" (1981).
Richard Page : "The song "O.C.O.E." was really a fictitous acount of a person who adheres to whatever the styles and behaviors are of the decades he lives through, starting with the sixties and ending with the eighties ... when, as you are aware the song was written (1980 to be exaxt ... I think). The poor guy never quite figures out who he really is ... not that any of the rest of us ever have either ... anyway, John Lang and I hatched this idea sitting on the sunny deck of my future wife Linda's house in the mountains 7000 feet above Palm Springs, CA. Steve George had a huge part in writing the music ... the more experimental the better for Steve.
The memory that leaps out most about the recording of that song is the incredible playing by Vinnie Colaiuta, in particular, Neil Stubenhaus, Charles Johnson and Steve George. I remember thinking how unusual the song was and that it was really obscure and nobody would ever like it except us."

@70sdiscobabe - it's interesting....when disco was dying, there was a vacuum that was filled with fantastic L.A. music. You had David Foster waiting in the wings. Quincy was helping disco crossover with Brothers Johnson, Michael Jackson, Ambrosia and others. I've always thought that era from about '78 to '81 was one of the more interesting eras in music although the top 40 couldn't have been worse! Great and simple post! Cheers!

I stronlgly think you have to blame it on the youtube audio voume compressor (if there's any ... but so it seems !).original audio file was high quality, no volume oscillations!
