Wehey thanks Jim... appreciate you taking time to comment about that... thanks.
I posted this elsewhere - but I forgot this thread existed - so I hope it's OK to post again here in the correct thread.
I have this last weekend purchased Frosts excellent Milliontown CD from iTunes - and all I can say is that this is quite simply some of the best modern progressive rock stuff I have ever heard.
I am what I term a
sound geek i.e. I listen intently to certain sections of pieces (
or maybe all of the piece if I like it that much) that appeal to me. We're all different i know, but what appeals to me can be either superb sounds (
such as at the beginning of Steve Hackets Genesis Revisited - Dance on a Volcano - the instrumental at the start has some awesome sounds produced on a Alesis Andromeda Synth) or even a super unauthodox time sig such as 5/8, 7/16 etc... (
told you I was a geek eh). Once I have id'ed a section I like I listen to it intently.
Well, there is a section in one of the tracks on this album - Hyperventilate - that fits this aptly.
Have a listen to what I consider superb lead synthesiser playing on this track at 5:53. The music goes into a wonderfully wild 5/8 section - totally headbanging stuff - and the keyboard playing is something I can only ever dream of attaining.
Someone please confirm for me that I actually
am a sound geek, or that I am perhaps certified insane
