I'd not heard significant amounts of Freeform before Wildcat, but surely
mild Tom Waits pastiche (Gone and Left the City) isn't /completely/
generic. The rest is slightly more par for the course, although Skim +
Skitter is impressively well done.
What would you suggest that's in a similar vein / has a similar feel but
less 'going throught the motions?'
