The piano/keyboards of David Paich were always the magical substance of Toto, as was the voice of Bobby Kimball. Mother was probably the best thing Danzig did and Glenn Danzig does have a pretty amazing voice, the only vocalist that sounds very similiar to him and who comes straight to mind is Keith Caputo of Life of Agony. |

I`m no expert on Life of Agony and have only listened to one album of theirs "River Runs Red" best described as a alternative metal/Post grunge affair with thrash elements, its a concept album and quite depressing. |

Anyway, thank you very much for the suggestions. I've been hearing you reggae guys talk them up lately, so I will check them out. |

In the late sixties Axelrod was held in as high esteem as producers like Phil Spector, George Martin and Brian Wilson. Axlerod finally burned out because of his heroin and cocaine use but he was a true psychonaut who is widely admired by current remix and breaks/beats artists like DJ Shadow, Chris Joss and David Holmes. |
Thank you, thank you Gavin! I dig your description of Axlerod as a "psychonaut" :laughing: thats perfect. Loved the two songs you posted, especially "Get Me To the World on Time". Exactly what I was wanting. You also spurred me to look into Lou Rawls and Cannonball Adderly. Do you know of any other psychedelic bands that fall into the same categories as The Electric Prunes that I might like?

SONG: Lightning Crashes
ARTIST: Live ALBUM: Throwing Copper Live was a one hit wonder band, but man was their one hit good! The year of this album was 1994 just so you know. There is something so up close and personal about this song. It sounds as if the lead singer is singing really softly, almost a whisper, right into your ear. A very interesting guitar riff, reminds me of the Velvet Underground's riff in "Pale Blue Eyes". Swaying and gentle, is how I would describe it. Its sounds as if the guitar moves closer to you then further away. As soon as you get comfortable with this soft beat and whispering lyrics, the lead singer gives the song an little burst of life and energy, but surprises me by falling right back into his whisper. But eventually when the lyrics take a more dramatic turn, he permanently heightens the feeling and emotion in his voice. I feel so satisfied when he finally does this, because the suspense has built up enormously throughout the song at this point. And I have to mention the lyrics....not the most conventional lyrics of a grungy type band, which only makes the song stand out that much more. |
