There isn't much to see, really.

Now, to hear...

Wink

I don't hear why people like E-Re then. :P


Well at least you don't go around making derogatory remarks about it, so I'm perfectly fine with all this. Smile

I don't, I do recognize that I like it less than most do, for whatever reason.

Indeed.

I also just about prefer it to M.D.K.

Mostly because there are some awesome live versions of M.D.K. but not one I've really found perfect yet.  Whilst with E-Ré I think the whole piece has been perfected on the studio album.

Yeah Alex, not sure when I saw them... not long before the album was released actually.  So E-Ré as a live piece hadn't been perfected by then.

Plus when I saw them live, they missed out my favourite part!

Now I just await that studio version of Theusz Hamtaahk (and yes, they need to also re-record Wurdah Itah as well).

I think what helps me appreciate it is because I saw Magma live not long before the release of the album.  Having a Magma album recorded in my lifetime really helps.  I didn't know Magma when K.A. was released.  So E-Ré will always have a bit of an affinity with me.

Much like Present does for VdGG (although that's no way as good as E-Ré is in comparison).

It would be nice to see Magma but that isn't going to happen. :(

It might do.  Get a passport.  Learn to drive.  Go to Kalamazoo.  Get a 'plane to somewhere where you can fly to Paris from and boom... Magma live.

The biggest challenge would be the plane part, that tends to cost money.

Aube is great, people are just being whiners. Although I do admit the first track is too much at times.

SW, you're an idiot.

Quote Can you speak a bit about the musicians you’ve used this time? I know Jordan Rudess [Dream Theater] and Steve Hackett [Genesis] appear.

Yeah, they’re the big names on it. Really, most of the people I’ve used aren’t well known. I used a lot of jazz musicians on this album. One thing I was very conscious of when I was making this record was that what I love about the records we talked about, from the early 70s, was that very often, they had musicians playing rock music when they weren’t really rock musicians. Particularly, there were a lot of jazz musicians. If you listen to things like the first King Crimson album, for example, you’re listening to jazz musicians playing rock. And it’s a funny thing that jazz is almost the element that has been written out of the history of Progressive Rock. If you listen to any music that’s been made under the name of Progressive Rock in the last 30 years, it’s conspicuous by one thing: the complete absence of the jazz influences.

Yeah, you’re right.

I’m thinking of Progressive Metal and Neo-Prog. There’s no jazz in that; it’s very clinical. And I include some of my own music in that category. What I’ve realized as I’ve been remixing some of those old records is that how much jazz is an important part of what makes that music special. Listen to Jethro Tull or King Crimson. There’s a lot of jazz in that music, and Grace for Drowning was almost like an attempt to get back to that jazz aspect in Progressive Rock. For that reason, I went around and deliberately found jazz musicians that were not normally acquainted with playing rock music. The drummer, Nic France, is a very underground UK jazz musician. He was instructed to basically solo the whole time, which is what jazz drummers effectively do. The jazz drummer is usually the leader in that he or she creates a dialogue with the soloist, and that’s very different from the rock drummer who will basically just hold a groove. Um, who else have we got? We have Theo Travis, the sax and flute player, who I’ve worked with several times over the years. There’s a guitar player named Mike Outram who comes from the UK jazz scene, and he also played on Insurgentes. We have Tony Levin and Nick Beggs on bass, and Pat Mastelotto on drums on a few tracks. Jordan is on keyboards of course and I do a lot of it myself. It’s not really a big group of musicians.
