Not bad. Pretty retro sound.

What do you call this stuff, Techno?

 

[lxskllr]

Dunno. There's a million subcategrories of electronic music, and I don't know the precise names of the styles. Right or wrong, I'd call it techno or EDM as a general term.

I listen to the downbeat, ambient type stuff, but they have more upbeat channels also.

 

[Treeaddict]

A retro sound and extreme heaviness. They have a range from folk to death metal. An awesome band. Beer Geek hasta know them.

 

[cory]

John, danks but chits complicated

 

[Treeaddict]

What did you think Cory? Too heavy?

 

[Tree09]

This is a stunningly different sound from the same band, cover obviously of Robin Trowers most famous.

 

[Treeaddict]

I had no idea Bridge of Sighs was a Trower cover.🤷‍♂️. Are you an Opeth fan, Kyle?

 

[Tree09]

Not really, mainly cause i haven't really sat and listened much cause I've been listening to different stuff. I can't really do the work radio where I've been working at, headphones aren't really practical either, so the drive to and from are about the only time i have, and that's used to wake me up before work or chill out before dad duty lol.

 

[cory]

What did you think Cory? Too heavy?

Solid and heavy. Not my cup of tea for regular listening but yeah solid.

 

[cory]

Damn the Bridge of sighs was 🔥

 

[BeerGeek]

I listened to Opeth a few times via friend's cassettes and the local metal station (WSOU; Seton Hall university; funny that a Catholic School has a radio station focused on metal and hardcore). Never really grabbed my attention, and after listening to these 2 posts, still doesn't really do it for me. Oh well.

Bagpipes can make folks crazy

 

[cory]

Yo, I bet you like this song just like I do plus 664m other kind folks. I linked this guy's wiki page because he is unbelievably accomplished- vet who saw combat, pilot, world class musician, college degree with honors in aerospace something.

[Tree09]

Didn't know that about him, very cool

 

[cory]

Ultra rare resume for sure

 

[cory]

But not utterly unique re world class musicians who are also involved with the military- Jeff Skunk Baxter of Steely Dan- his jam is consulting with Pentagon re missile defense systems, alrighty then

This version is vastly superior to album cut selected. I can't imagine what they were thinking. This was released years later as part of a "bootleg" set...



The album cut :rollseyes:

 

[Tree09]

Poor taste in the 80s...... noooooooooo....... lol

 

[cory]

This one caught my ear.

 

[Treeaddict]

the autumn defense back of my mind - Google Search

Not sure about the link but I’ve always loved this song. It has a very Beatlesesque sound. Very smooth.

 

[lxskllr]

Beatlesesque, but it reminds me specifically of a band I can't quite put my finger on. I used to really listen to, and be fairly knowledgeable regarding ≤ early 70s classic rock, but I quit listening quite a few years ago, and lost a lot of the knowledge I accumulated. That's gonna drive me nuts trying to figure it out :^D

Chit mang, Jeff Beck was a monster whenever he chose to be. RIP Jeff.
