Topic: Do yourself a favor, and listen to this Posted: November 13 2010 at 20:47 |
I think you should all stop picking on Walter. Deep down we all know he is right and there is are no good bands from after 1989.
As for the band the OP mentioned, not bad, but a little generic sounding to me.

There's actually good things in the 80's, it's just underground music. There's also good things between 1990 and now, like Muse.

I didn't care for Shadowlight. I must admit that outside of RIO/Avant and related, there isn't a lot of post 80's music I've found that I liked. I'm almost with Walter on this, except that I find many worthwhile modern avant-oriented ones. I tend not to care for modern production values generally-speaking. Anyway, this music sounds too slick to my ear, not that nuanced, and I feel the production rather amateurish.

This is not a thread about Walter, it is a band recommendation by a forum member. Besides, I don't really like anything he has said after 1989. Shadowlight are a proficient group of musicians from the presented samples, but not really my cup of tea. They lack a sense of rawness that I tend to look for in production quality. But thank you very much for the music recommendation Javajeff. Additionally, I appreciate having the knowledge of a new music sample source. I was heretofore not aware of ReverbNation

they list many prog groups as influences, and they market themselves on the one site as "Rock / Progressive Metal / Post Rock" and on facebook as "Post-Progressive Rock."

good professional band, unclear from the samples if they could be considered Prog but it's possible--

PA would be nothing more than an empty shell without Walter.

Maybe we should have a Walter appreciation thread. Here's some Classic Walter from another thread.

Yeah, it's irritating, but we're all used to it. And every once in a while Walter pulls something funny.
