 Topic: Tangerine Dream vs Meshuggah
Posted: April 29 2016 at 20:06 |
^ Maybe for the (quality) Metallica similarities. But one can hear they are vastly superior musicians to Hetfield & Co. Amusing they mixed up Haake and Kidman in the photos  - I think they're still pissed with that !! I couldn't devote my time to the world of extreme, but Meshuggah 'does it' for me. Dancers To A Discordant System is one of their best, and I couldn't choose a fave of CC - actually there's a beautiful (now how often can you say that about a Tech/Death band ??) acoustic interlude in 5/4, in Qualms Of Reality, that features a wonderful Thordendal solo. Very moving. One day, I'll get the Psykisk Testbild E.P. ............one day..................Cadaverous Mastication is BRILLIANT. There's a murky live clip of them doing this around 1990 (?). Priceless !!

I don't get why it doesn't get much attention, it's probably my second favorite from them after Destroy Erase Improve.

I've just realised I've not cast a vote of these 2 AMAZING Canterbury bands Had Meshuggah used more Fuzz-Organ I'd cast my vote their way, but TD had their mellotrons and Farfisas so I have to vote for them. Jens should get in touch with Dave Stewart and borrow his Hammond and Fuzz-box for the up-coming classic Canterburian Tech-Metal extravaganza from Umea. Looks like the Canterbury scene is alive and kicking in Sweden, although with a smidge of modern brutality

Just noticed this thread......early on someone mentioned TD as Canterbury. I'm a Canterbury fan and never thought of them as anyway related to that style.
PA lists them as Progressive Electronic.
Where is the Canterbury connection?

Not so certain. My impression is that a lot of metal fans are into the the 70's german electronic/cosmic scene. Aslo a lot of metal fans can't stand this so-called djent which is many ways is metal for folks not really into metal.

Most random match up ever (it's like matching up Pink Floyd with Cannibal Corpse), and I like both bands, but I'll give the vote to Meshuggah.
