Sounds like Keith used a wah-wah through a Leslie for his track. Perhaps even a phaser. But it sounds more like a wah-wah.

I'm pretty sure it's a wah-wah. Both because of the sound and because they didn't really start using those MXRs before 1975. The Leslie thing is all over Ronnie's IGMOATD the year after as well.

Through The Lonely Nights is phase, innit!!!?? Sounds like it! Maybe? It's that or wah - with a very light touch.

hmm, but I think it's a track that starts from a song idea, rather than the Satanic Majesties numbers that seem to be developed from jams. Just "too weird"? I don't usually think of "weird " as a negative term. I guess you're right that the Stones are essentially pop band ("Angie" is on the same album), but they can stretch out. I would agree that the song is not altogether cooked. We might blame this on keith, as I imagine he checked out on this one--thought it was "too weird"--and might not have contributed to the mixing and arranging.
Yeah, it could be that "weird" is not the best word to describe the scene - maybe just "out of focus" - I feel that their ship is sailing without the capitan in charge with a clear intuition of the direction in his mind. Maybe that IS something to do with Keith's - and Jimmy Miller's - condition at the time. Like said, there are good ideas there but somehow - I think - they are not resulted in a great, sharp distinguihed Stones way.
Side note of MAJESTIES: I think there were good songs or sketches for songs to begin with - the bootlegs now circulating seem to indicate that - but they messed the whole thing with their unclear wanna be-psychedelic ambitions in studio.

Only Leslie, I believe.

it's unique, i'll give it that...and i'd give it credit for having longer legs than continental drift, which was a noble experiment that ultimately failed...

I like what you write, Greenblues, but it still does not work for me. I think it is a brave
experiment, but it failed. In my opinion it took until Continental Drift before the boys got
this kind of music right.

Ok I see now people mention a Wah w/ the Leslie.
PS I don't think there is a leslie in "Through the Lonely Nights".
