Epic.

Si tenés el disco de Atempo a mano, escuchá con atención algunas vocalizaciones y verás que Mariela desafina bastante. Cuando cantaba en Nexus pasaba lo mismo, pero las partes vocales eran corregidas a través de un proceso electrónico (lo sé a través de la mejor fuente), cosa que con Atempo no se hizo. Igual, ella suena bien y se ve mejor .

Caray! No sabía o había escuchado esa leyenda acerca de los arreglos electrónicos hechos a la voz de Mariela... y aunque confío plenamente en tus palabras (porque cierto es que desentona un poco más en Atempo), existe todavía la duda en mi porque recuerdo haberla escuchado cantar clara y armoniosamente cuando Nexus hizo una pequeña aparición en "La Corte Final" (prog-restaurante en el corazón de la Ciudad de México)... a menos que ahí también se haya presentado esta anomalía del arreglo de su voz y nos deje solamente una hermosa imagen del exterior...

Saludos!

Gracias por tu preocupación Marcelo! También me considero un asiduo fan de PLP y la operática voz de Magdalena, pero en esta ocasión me quedaré con lo que mis oídos captaron de Mariela en "Detrás del Umbral" y "Metanoia"... y tienes razón, "Abismos del tiempo" es un concepto diferente, (con fusiones de funk, céltico y poco progresivo sinfónico) y en ese mismo contexto, la voz de la hermosa argentina tuvo que amoldarse a la instrumentación, pero aun así no deja de ser fantástica, no te parece?

Saludos,

Land

You never know if all of them can make it to the show, so it's preferable to have some spares, huh?

it might have existed: Fripp & Sylvian with Trey Gunn on bass and Pat Mastelotto on drums in live version (Damage).

Ok, but remember supergroups almost never work:

Vocals...Peter Gabriel & Annie Haslam: Peter is great with the low ranges and as frontman. Annie would do a great job with the high ranges in which Peter is weak and she incredible.

Bass...John Myung (Dream Theater): Amazing player, very complex style.

Chapman Stick...Tony Levin: Great duo with Myung.

Guitars....Steve Hackett and Steve Howe: Hoping they would do it better than in GTR.

Keyboards...Par Lynd: Incredible keyboardist, even though Wakeman and Emerson are also great, they have too much ego to be part of supergroup, will end killing someone. And Tony Banks is a great band player, but his recent curriculum with Genesis disqualifies him.

Drums...Manu Katche: One of the best and he's in his peak right now, if he never cared being a session musician for Peter Gabriel, I believe he would be perfectly comfortable being part of a band with Peter in vocals.

Flute...Anna Holmgren (Anglagard): Great style and versatility

Violin and Backing Vocals...Robbie Steindhart (Kansas): Ideal for any prog' band and has also a great voice.

Who would you have in your ultimate prog band, who would you have playing what? this may be another half brained topic but hopefully this one could work
