LIFT YOUR SKINNY FISTS LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN

Our discussion starts with this:

The Era that we are living is a very very different era than late 60s, 70s, 80s, or even 90s. Rock music has always been an influential thing according to the politics of the moment and the level of people's understanding all around the world. As it is obviously seen most of the music that has the place in prog-archive charts are amongst the 60s and 70s era. Although it is said that rock should be an opposition to the powerful guys in white house, KGB, or any other political place, but I believe that it can be pretty messed up by the decisions that can take place in the world.

The Era that we are living is the fruit of Nixon, Reagan, and ultimately Bush kind of politics. It is the Era of Holly Wood celebrities which are supported by their high rated fans.

The truth is that, there are no more bands like before except very rare examples, may be my friends in prog-archive are counting GYBE as one these exceptions, more time and thinking and comments are needed to show this fact which is still very unclear for me at the moment.

GYBE sometimes in their music get to a point which is unbelievable, but traces of radio-head or some other new band ideas are the killer of these good climaxes. Exsimio is one of those mentioned new groups, without any doubt. It is an Art Rock band which is doing a better job than king Crimson at the same time ( post 2000 years), considering the fact that they don't have good funding support for their music production and instruments.

Anyways, making the long story short I must say that GYSE amongst the new bands has a special place for me, but i prefer to give them the lowest grade, because I hope they get purified and do their own job. Traces of fear in the song writer's mind is so observable . I believe that weakness should be destroyed to make GYBE a band comparable to a regular prog-rock group.

Maziar.
