Aren't you a Henry Cow fan?  They were all about sticking it to "the man."

A OoT 3 heart run sounds like fun. I think I'll try that tonight as a drift away in a cold-medicine-coma so that I can finally sleep. Smile

Well, good luck on doing that in one night.  3 hears on OoT sounds brutal, but it probably isn't as impossible as 3 hearts on Adventure of Link *shudders*.

I've done it before. Took me a good month or so, but I've done it. Big smile

Yeah I'm a Henry Cow fan but I don't think "the man" they were sticking it to was Peter Hammill.  Maybe it was... Who knows?

Yeah, there is no way I'd finish in one night, I have seen a run that was under 3 hours though, which was insane. I can get the master sword pretty quickly, which is a start I guess.

He was.  I've asked Fred Frith myself.  They were in a contest between who could sell the least amount of records.

Confused

I'm pretty sure Frith releases an album every time he tunes his guitar. LOL

^ I'm sorry, I'm really not a Frith solo fan and it seemed like Hammill released the most albums you could possibly come up with LOL

Frith has been on over 400 recordings, or so says Wikipedia.  I'm not a Hammill fan, so I don't really know how many albums he has, but 400 is a huge number.

I don't know how someone could, with bands like Tangerine Dream, as soon as you buy an album they release more.

^ I don't know, RIO bands seem better at it probably because they're not afraid to try everything they think of

Yeah, it seems like bands that aren't afraid to improvise release more quality material than bands that make more orchestrated music. It certainly takes less time to sit down and do whatever you want than it does to write new music and then practice it.

^ That's why I admire Roine Stolt because he can do both Approve (it seems like people hate him on this site, but I love all of his music)

Roine Stolt is certainly one of my favorite "modern" prog guys.

A lot of my favorite bands were good at both, come to think of it. I guess I would call Pink Floyd good at both writing long structured songs (although not complex) and their early improvised jams are just as compelling.

I've seen the run-through that was under 3 hours. I could come close to doing it, but I would need to practice first. And even then, I don't see me getting it in under 5 or 6 hours.

Granted, that's assuming it's a band that is actually good at improvising. LOL
