I don't get that myself, it is that early prog kind of sound but quite pastoral. Whenever I've tried them I think for about 20 minutesI'm enjoying it then a bit later I realise I've lost interest.Not listened either but often touted as an early Genesis type band.
Just discovered the Steve Albini "In Color" sessions on YouTube. Brilliant.
He does a really good job on them doesn't he? In Color was the first album of theirs I heard, and it'll always be special, but it was weak production wise. Just a shame the Albini version never got a proper release. I did get a copy some years ago, and still play it often.
Similarly, Robin Zander's second solo album, 'Countryside Boulevard' was released for just a day before being recalled, and then never saw light of day again.
Wasn’t aware of the Albini version. Will have to check that out at some point. Deffo a weakness of In Color is the production.
I must be very very old. Just read a report on the Brits…..never heard of any of them.
I have listened to The last dinner party. They are an odd bunch, but I did quite like it.I must be very very old. Just read a report on the Brits…..never heard of any of them.
Have seen this being discussed on a Rock forum I go on today. A very clever and accurate 'copy' (is that the right term for it even?)
But beyond most all being impressed by it, and the thought of further such like with other bands came up with many ideas, the thought of where this could go once the marketing bastids get their grubby mitts on it?
Bands around now (I'll not name names) where we have all seen their singers struggle through their age etc ... what's to stop them using this technology to use recordings from their past to implement on new material?
Once this was in regular use, how would we know what we was hearing as 'new' was far from it?
Would people care? Or would it be a slippery slope for an already ailing industry?
