I appreciate the matchup. Here's my take on Al vs Plank...
Al took the slow build approach, using the chime of a REALLY good guitar (c'mon! the dudes got some cash), and used the natural flow of the traditional rythm to carry the build. He let it ebb and tide in a mellow manner, so as to be part of the background, which is an artform in itself. Out of all the versions of this tune this is my favorite, just for the simplicity in which he approached it.
Plank - I used the simplistic approach of layering the rythm and accent notes. Set a bridge portion, then used that same concept to take it out. I really made an effort to keep it simple but heavy without going over the top.
Again, thank you so much for the matchup VEGANGELICA, brings a smile to my face.
