Well, I'm going to add the tag "trapbeat" to my website. Wouldn't have thought to need to do it for a prog artist ;-)

is it a trap beat though? It's not like those trap rappers invented the wheel or something. Confused

I can't quite make out what that thing on the floor they were dancing around was. It looks like something made out of Lego bricks. I can't imagine dancing barefoot on such a hard floor either. Having had plantar fasciitis once in the past, that would be one of the last things I'd do on a hard floor. The music itself reminds me of a humming paragraph which branches out into mailbox blankets, cloudy bookshop spray, and throughput pump etymology. It's the snail snuff astronomy that gets me. Oy!

^ Like it or not, what is commonly called "trap beat" in music production is what we're hearing here, origins in hip hop / rap not withstanding. Trap beats are common in pop music nowadays.

Here's some examples of trap beats, feel free to compare them to the SW track. https://trap-beat.com/downloads/category/guitar-trap/

OK.

It seems we're gonna get The Future Bites part 2. Confused

^ I doubt that. This just in (on the SW facebook page):

"Next week something completely different, the mostly instrumental 11 minute hybrid of progressive rock, spiritual jazz and electronica that is Impossible Tightrope. I couldn’t be prouder of this album and I think you are going to enjoy it too!"

So electronica: yes, but probably more complex than this track.

EDIT: There's a 15 second audio snippet in the message, sounds much better.

Hi,

I get the feeling that SW thinks he can do anything he comes up with and wants to do, and ... it won't be an issue ... it will be liked, and folks will get it, not to mention that his live concerts are excellent and a must see.

While the vocals are nice, I really think the piece lacks "soul" ... and the dancing has a few interesting parts, but does not feel like it belongs to the song at all ... it's almost like it's there for show, and not to help the song. I was thinking that if this had Kevin Godley directing it might have a better sense of its conceptual entirety, but I think the dancing is not well defined enough to help the song ... it's very NY stylized in modern dance ... a lot of which is very empty and soul'ess. Interesting, and not bad, mind you, but in the end, you won't remember a lot of it later ... it's not like Misha or Rudy, that you remembered those flights through the air for years in your mind and wonder how they did that!

Sorry SW ... you have done a lot of great things, but this is not one of them.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
