Hehe, nothing new to me, just one of the many sides of me that you haven't come across yet. I tend to surprise people, even those who have known me for a long time.

Mumford was interesting, in an Americana sort of way, and southern at that, nice and emotionally laden. Nice use of the banjo, I'm fond of that instrument when used in a clever manner.

Out of curiosity, as someone who generally isn't all that fond of vocals, how do you like older vocal traditions? Here's an example :-)

Olav I judge vocals as instrumentals and this is certainly not a pub band,  sound quality is amazing, but they are a bit heavy loud with an oriental Bollywood feeling tho' :) not my usual preference listening preference overall taste tho' Big smile

hehe, try ancient Norse chants as far as vocal origins goes, with medieval "giant ballads" as the flavoring. The core cultural origins may be traced back to India indeed, although ancient India rather than Bollywood as a matter of fact. But yeah, I know this isn't your turf. This one was a call of curiosity as far as style goes, as chants oriented vocals like this, with a lot of repeated elements, isn't all that common in modern music.

Incidentally, I listen to vocals as part of the instrumentation as well. Where I focus on harmonics and how the voice fits into the overall context rather than emotional intensity as such, which is why I've never been able to handle a band like Pavlov's Dog for instance, but why I enjoy for instance Green Carnation - and early Madrugada (the track I posted along with the Green Carnation one).

Oh, and *hugs back*

A better answer (than my previous 'No') would be we this.  So many bands that were categorized based on their first album or two, or on what ever was their most popular album, or on what ever their most recent album was when they were suggested for inclusion.  There are so many different reasons that a band has been categorized where they have been.  There's a reason that they are in the genre that they are in now and doing revisionist history doesn't do us any good.

Let me give an example, Steven Wilson is tagged as a Crossover Prog artist, this was based on Insurgentes as that was the only album available when he was initially evaluated.  After 'The Raven That Refused to Sing' you could have made a strong case that he should be moved to Symphonic.  A couple years later he released 'Hand Cannot Erase' which I think is clearly Crossover, so we'd have moved him back?  It wouldn't have done any good to have had him moved.

There are many bands that were borderline cases for one genre or another.  There is enough to do other than reopening debates that were settled years ago.  Someone said this before, but can you imagine the chaos of the 'Should Genesis be moved to Crossover' thread?  

I strongly encourage anyone who is worried about the genre a particular band or especially an album is in, to do a review and describe the music in your terms.  I don't see a problem with a review that starts 'this album is more of an eclectic album than a symphonic, and here is why . . . "

Good point. I am also opposed to too much moving around of artists (and should be only done with caution in extremely rare cases). Many artists try a lot of styles throughout their career, which makes it extremely difficult to categorise an artist as such.
Heck, I remember how much Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel were moved around...Wacko LOL

I would also like to add a note...why are we so obsessed with "pigeon-holing" artists into a certain category. We should really just take the artists music on its own merits, and not worry about the much less important label we give it. Just sayin'...

I think Tom (Rolland113) hit the nail on the head.

Now please stop with the bleeping stickers!!!!! They're here for all to see and review.....and it's not like they're lumped in Krautrock either.

I only have 'As The World'......I'm glad I bumped into this thread again ....it reminded me to ck out their other albums.


btw...someone mentioned neo-prog a few posts back......imho it fits their time frame and style of music for me but bands who get classified here rarely if ever get changed.
Listening to the 'window' album right now....pretty damn good stuff.
