mahavishnu prog rock?
i always considered mahavishnu and a majority of what john mclaughlin did
"acid fusion."
that's pointless though.
inner mountain flame is an incredible album, as is the trident sessions (i'm
very thankful this was released).
they play a huge influence in my work. fucking amazing compositions
(sometimes a bit overboard).
i'm not a fan of apocolypse at all, birds of fire is decent. i've a few
other 12"s i can't remember the name of.
visions of the emerald beyond is great, but some of the singing gets to me.
anyone heard adventures in radioland or inner worlds?
goblin!!! oh man, i can't say enough great things abour their work. zombi
(soundtrack to dawn of the dead)
is in my top ten all-time favorite albums. they create the greatest
atmospheres and tones. love em.
i think i'm so drawn to mahavishnu and goblin etc because they seem far more
conceptual and obviously a
lot more work goes into their compositions than most IDM artists. most IDM
artists i talk to say "i just sit and write tracks"
"drop in whatever sounds good" without any real goal or depth. i think this
is a major shortcoming of any genre, but especially this one.
the 70s had the most amazing music in my opinion, especially because of the
above. i just wish more people would realize
what they did and the importance of it so it can influence more of today's
work.
good call donna,
