Did you forget to take your happy pills today....? ......plenty long winded even for you....oh they ain't prog but what has that to do with anything? And you wish in your wildest dreams, assuming long winded curmudgeons even have dreams, you could play guitar like Knopfler. |

from lastfm:
Silvester Anfang was created by Conrad Schnitzler of Tangerine Dream. Euronymous, as a big fan of his work, asked him for an intro for Mayhem’s upcoming EP. Schnitzler sent him back this piece, which he found in his archives (it was not made solely for Mayhem’s release). From Sarah Brightman's site: It was during this heady time that Sarah [Brightman] first met Andrew One (who is not to be
confused with Andrew Two, that impossibly successful musical theatre
impresario). After a quick courtship, Sarah married Andrew Graham Stewart. Seven
years her senior, Andrew was the manager of Tangerine Dreams, a German
psychedelic rock band signed to Virgin. Monster Magnet has covered Hawkwind and Bob Calvert, among others, and the song "Dinosaur Vacume" is a take on Hawkwind's "Magnu" (Wyndorf's own words on his forum). He also "borrowed" melodies from Hawkwind's "Children of the Sun" ("Look to Your Orb for the Warning") and Captain Beyond's "Mesmerization Eclipse" ("Twin Earths", as well as making references to Hawkwind's "Master of the Universe" ("Spine of God"). During one of the Sweden Rock Festival's (2004?) Dave Wyndorf and Phil Caivano joined Hawkwind onstage (both bands were playing the same festival). From the seas of tranquility interview, a young Rune Eriksen (Aura Noir, Ava Inferi, ex-Mayhem) was influenced to take up guitar after his sister took him to a Motorhead concert.

an element of the design on the Djinn "Last wish" album comes from a piece of artwork called "The Mock Turtle and Gryphon". The artist that drew that did the artwork for "Black Wings" in Ava Inferi's "Blood of Bacchus" album and what was to be the cover of Systems Theory's "overfulnoisecascade" album.

After the Moody Blues launched their own label, Threshold, two bands they'd considered for signing to it were King Crimson and Genesis. That would have been interesting, seeing how the label would have developed from there, as well as how the bands' careers might have been different. As it is, Trapeze is the only band anyone remembers from the label, outside of MB's own albums and solo and splinter projects.

I think THE BROTHERS IN ARMS album is quite good. Other than that I really can't say watch else works with me sound wise from them? Oh telegraph Road was a great 14min track they did. Thought that was excellent. Although I think you guys are right in most cases. They can get sappy IMO like and uninspired, but sometimes you just want your MTV!!! Lol |

I quite agree with Dean really. One of the most overrated rock bands in history, Dire Straits. Made some passable songs but interminable albums and some awful singing (talking really). And the band themselves as musicians? Nothing special.

Let me say a word about Dire Straits...Knopfler is a good guitarist and they have some good moments, but I've never been able to survive to a whole album, all the same stuff for 40 minutes, one song is fine, two are too much, and I'm used to progressive electronic....
