FRANCES THE MUTE

Great music comes with certain "faults" that exhibit the effort of evolution. These guys are the only game in town when it comes to pushing the limits of where we are and are going. Floyd's "On The Run" could be considered so much noise, but the 'release' of "Time" brings all of that nonsense into perspective. So this band proceeds. I am not one of the "dream theater" fans, but a studied fan of Genesis, Yes, ELP, J. Tull and all the rest of those old farts, and I find these fellows (from their ignominious beginnings in At The Drive-In ){of course I mean great} to be one (if not the one) of the absolute most happening things going on right now. Riverside, Deus Ex Machina, Opeth, Godspeed, yeah, they are all great. But, these guys have something else going on. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
