Explanations, please
I'd like to use this thread in case a listener hears a band that they may need more information on, or would like to ask why the artist is on AM, or maybe to suggest other releases by the artist.
Although I will start this off in a negative way, maybe after we discuss this, we can also use the thread in the other ways mentioned above. 1) Why is Phish on Aural Moon? Bruce Hornsby's Harbor Lights, for instance, is way more in tune to what AM is, and that's not here. But Phish? I just don't get it. There's a million other bands that could be here if Phish is. 2) What's the deal with Citizen Cain? Early IQ and Marillion had the Genesis comparision issues (which they've worked out nicely), and Iluvatar had the Marillion/Collins comparison. And, we have the Starcastle/Galleon/Cairo thing. But Citizen Cain is just long songs cut from old Genesis riffs. Have I not heard enough of them? Please help, am I just generalizing? |

Phish - we had several requests for Phish, and I thought that some of their live work was reminiscent of Yes in all the right ways. Like Bruce Hornsby? I have Harbor Lights, and it's a favorite for several rational and sentimental reasons, but I think most Phish is quite a bit more progressive than Harbor Lights. But, what does everyone else think? I ask because I care - great questions... Last edited by progdirjim : 10-26-2003 at 01:03 AM. |

I find their music much more stiff and woody than Genesis, but then I only judge from their latest release. Actually, the more I hear music inspired by Genesis, the more I appreciate the original. What do you guys like The Watch? They did a fantastic gig here in Göteborg in August.

I'm glad that you mentioned The Watch. Being a long time Marillion fan I immediately took a liking to them and like them more evrytime I hear them. Again some people may criticize them as being a clone but ....

I, for one, requested Phish be added. Phish is a band that if I were running the playlist would be a track by track added band. Some of their stuff is, according to Gibralter Encyclopedia, "every bit as complex as Gentle Giant ever was." Some of their stuff, no way. As for Citizen Cain, I realize they worship PGGenesis, but that doesn't make them a bad band. I say leave them both on AM and add more stuff by them.

analogies
I'm still smarting from my high school SAT's 20+ years ago when they asked analogies. Now I've heard the goofiest.
In another thread, I stated that Rush's "Lamneth" has as much in common with Relayer as Ambrosia does with Ozric Tentacles. Comparing Gentle Giant and Phish is much more strange. Please burn that encyclopedia. |

The rational part of it is just that it's a good album. The sentimental part had to do with when I first heard it, who I was with, blah blah blah. Good memories though... |

The only Phish album I would suggest adding onto the playlist is "Junta." Many Fusion elements & I feel tracks like "The Divided Sky" & "David Bowie" are appropriate for Aural Moon.(But that is just me! )
