RushFan4's New CD Thread 10- Fromuz -Seventh Story

You know, I made a huge blunder in my Overlook review - the one I originally wrote for ProgressoR (there is an edited version of it here) - when I called its cover 'cheesy' . In fact, it reminded me of some DT stuff...
When Ken added me as a friend on Facebook, and I realized that he was the artist, I would've liked the earth to open up and swallow me whole. He's a very nice guy, and one hell of an artist too.

Raff, dear lady, you're far to hard on yourself. You are entitled to your opinion. What made so funny to me was that I was the proof reader on the review before it was posted. I thought Vitaly had written it and teased him about it. Anyway, I got a good laugh out of it and there were/are absolutely no hard feelings

I think this is their best to date.  They have matured very nicely through the three projects. They have some quirks I don't care for but overall a very fine band.  The vocals on this one really add something to the music and I think are a great element addition.  The vocals seem to draw the song out of the music.

Vitaly told me that he did not have Rush or "XYZ" in mind at all when he wrote this, though he does admire them.

As they say in the movies:
"Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental"

Kak zhal! (It's a pity! - Russian) Yes, Brian, agreed! (on all counts)

I know that I am not the only one that hears YYZ on the song Parallels.

And I don't disagree with you, as I am not familiar with the song in question. All I know is there was no intentional similarity.

My point in quoting the article is that different ears hear different things. The more familiar you are with a band, the more likelihood your ears will detect a similarity. I listened to what I could find online at iTunes and Amazon, but you know how that is, they're only 30 second clips. So I still can't comment from knowledge of XYZ.

Ahah! Yes. Rush Fan, I hear it. A friend just sent me YYZ. The intro is nearly note for note. Beyond that, I hear no similarity, but the riff at the beginning. Gotcha. 

I'd love for us not to get hung-up on this one song. If you'd like to see segments from the Fromuz debut release, "Audio Diplomacy", you can watch at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fromuz+progressive+rock&aq=f

The top half dozen are from that. Then the next couple are from a promo of the upcoming "Inside Seventh Story" DVD.

their music is the sort that requires multiple listens!
