Massa 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Seen the name Kate Bush in this thread a few times so I figured I'd mentioned that I heard "Running Up That Hill" on the radio of all places a few nights back. First time I'd ever heard any of her songs. There was something odd about it that I really liked. May check out more of her music on the YouTube since she isn't available on U.S. Spotify. Really been into New Order, Duran Duran, Big Country, The Fixx, Mike + The Mechanics, The Smiths, and Pet Shop Boys lately. Nothing out of the norm for the usual genres I like. I think I've just about exhausted every band or artist Wikipedia tells me is part of new wave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massa 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2011 Derek Forbes, original bassist of Simple Minds and now with two other original members in a new wave cover band called Fourgoodmen. He put two videos up years ago, then disappeared. I still love what Simple Minds released after Forbes left, but his bass was such a huge part of their best album "New Gold Dream." I wish he'd post more stuff; the bass in "Theme For Great Cities" is covered all over YouTube but I'd love to hear the right one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 If you are of a mind to listen to this in its entirety, then thank you for indulging me. If not, then if nothing else, skip to 4:55 onwards for an attack on the senses. Staring at the face on that pole whilst this plays out from five minutes onward still irks and mildly freaks me out for reasons unexplained. There is something almost medieval going on in my soul - I can't put it into words. Still, that's music for ya's; sometimes evoking the indescribable.

dribbler 6 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 So, whilst we're in this genre, check out the other Prog' Rock group who never reached the critical or commercial acclaim of Genesis or Yes; the mighty Gentle Giant. A bunch of self confessed show off's. None of you (apart from Argento or Russ - if he's listening) will care but I feel moved to explain why I love this so much. A bunch of guys talented enough to play this piece is enough to captivate me. But the fact they felt moved to learn it and learn it so well, fascinates me. The passion and devotion to complication is such a refreshing diversion in this age of mediocrity. It's not easy on the ear. But it's wickedly tight and complex. It's also fun and smug superior. I f*cking love it. Sean, help me out. (I even spelled your name right). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kopite Girl 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Currently got myself into a brilliant band. The Amboy Dukes. Journey to the Centre of the Mind is just brilliant. Suggest you have a little listen if you haven't already. Also having a little listen to Emerson Lake & Palmer. Quite good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massa 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 a-ha's great. They're a typical "Massa" band, one where you have to explain "no no no no there's more to it than (that one song they've heard, in this case, "Take On Me," which I actually like, but "Manhattan Skyline," particularly the extended remix, is my personal favorite of their stuff)." As for British bands, most of the music I have is English/Scottish, so I'd have to agree if we're making generalizations... ...and on those generalizations, since all of my favorites are English/Scottish and haven't really been too big since the 80s, none of them really tour outside of Britain, and that saddens me. I'll have to swim across one day and be the only one under 40 at any of these shows. Haven't had much time to discover and add anything new to the lineup recently (though I have been giving attention to some things that were there all along but I hadn't been listening to much, mostly Rush and Dave Matthews), but I did hear "Midnight City" by M83 on HBO's Rangers/Flyers 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic show and since then it's gained a lot of popularity. I like it, and I don't really like much of anything from this era. Just a cool song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Thank you It's a matter of fact... I'm interested to know, how did A-HA in your view influenced artist like Chris Martin and co? I've loved A-HA since their first hit "The sun always shines on TV". The amount of quality songs they produced were amazing, much like Coldplay is doing it these last few years... R u refering to the production of consistent quality material, and sticking to your own "voice"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R u refering to the production of consistent quality material, and sticking to your own "voice"? Chris Martin has gone on record saying that A-ha were a major influence on his writing and the overall sound of the band [link]. Coldplay have covered 'Hunting High & Low' and 'The Living Daylights' on tour and have had both Morten and Mags on stage with them from time ti time. Mags unfortunately has heart disease and the band retired for good last year after selling over 80 million records worldwide. They were always labelled as a 'teen' band and my daughter had their posters plastered all over her room when I was playing in a hard rock band! That used to rankle me. Us 'real musos', as we thought of ourselves then, simply wrote them off as a synth pop phenomena that would wither and die. But, has time has showed they were so much more than than that and the quality of the songwriting proves it. I'm currently working on a new solo album with a full string ensemble which is a major departure for me and they have been high on my inspiration list.
