I just downloaded a NEUSCHWANSTEIN song (Intruders and the Punishment) from the Prog Archives. It is an excellent song, BUT the reason why is because it is a carbon copy of 'The Cinema Show' from GENESIS. Musically it is almost identical, not to mention the vocalist even sounds like Gabriel! Go have a listen for yourself...
Marmalade...I like marmalade.

a copy? not at all! just the beginning, the drums, solo keysboards sound a bit like cinema show, that's it! The bass and guitars are COMPLETELY different, and the Gandalf-esque floating keyboards gives an anti-genesis ambience!

Calling it a carbon copy is a bit harsh ... although there are approximately 30-40 seconds when the song sounds scandalously like Cinema Show ...

BTW, if you listen very carefully I think you'll agree that the vocalist doesn't sound exactly like Gabriel ... he sounds exactly like Fish trying to sound like Gabriel, except of course that Neuschwanstein made this album five years before Marillion appeared on the scene ...

Well, that's the vocalist's timber, it's a natural thing, he can't avoid it. He started as a Bread-like acoustic pop performer, then he was asked to sing in this excellent symph prog band, and now I read almost everywhere that his voice is similar to that of Fish. I wonder if he would give that sane impression singing acoustic pop.
