New Album Direction

[Brom]

I for one am hoping and praying influences of The Losers don't creep too far in. From what I have heard of The Losers, it is completely void of soul and musicality......much of it sounds like those demo songs you hear in any consumer electronic keyboard or cheesy synth workstation. Very sequenced, quantized, and mechanical.

Maybe a naked man in a field playing the lute would suit you better?

Dude....that's just gross.....I don't swing that way, but thanks for the offer.  :roll:

Sorry, don't follow: independent of anyone's sexuality, why is the image of a naked man in a field playing a lute gross? If anything, it's funny. In fact, couldn't be more prog ...  8-)

I'm glad someone got the joke!

Yeah, I though it was very obvious it was supposed to read "flute"

If Rush suddenly had Mandolins and Banjos on a record, it many ways it would cease to be Rush and would attract a completely different audience.

There's a mandolin on The Main Monkey Business from Snakes And Arrows, isn't there? Mandolins sound great. And it may not be Rush, but there's a banjo on the last Big Big Train EP on Master Of Time. That's something I really do like about progressive music - no restrictions with instrumentation!

Not forgetting the section from Trains by Porcupine Tree
Many a folky instrument in there...

Depending on the man, it might have to be an archlute...

But a Frost* album imbued with the melancholy of John Dowland would be a genuinely surprising progression  :lol:

Hmm, now I think about it - prog rock inspired by Dowland's Lachrimae might not be all that bad...

I think the new album should be doom metal.

Can you do that with no hair?

Can you do that with no hair?

Absolutely not! Also, Jem is not Scandinavian.

Absolutely not! Also, Jem is not Scandinavian.

I dunno: I've always thought of him as Jåm Gødfröy.

[E.S.]

If they were Norwegian they could also go black metal. Preferably with makeup.
What about:

Jens Godli
John Mikkelsen
Nathaniel Kvinge
Klaus Blindheim

[Mouse]

Klaus Blindheim. Brilliant.  :lol:

[MarkOneMusic]

I think Jem's blogging has hinted at something that crosses into genres possibly less well known to us...

I'm thinking:

Speed Polka, maybe with some Psy-Assyrian/Syriac a smattering of Min'y? death funk, perhaps with a some Progressive Tejano influences in there.

What happened to the lewd man sitting with a newt ?



I'm not sure I got that quite right.
