Lots of RIO and Zeuhl, and composing my own Techno-RIO on a broken
sequencer that i love without sarcasm.
I'm glancing at recent advance in the possible
Alternative-Progressive wave, which i project as a mainstream trend for
1998-2000 approx. (maybe 1999-2005 if we're lucky). Listen to the
latest singles of Radiohead and Bush, those both contain at least 16
measures of 7/8 each; Bush's is more just rock, about as Prog as Rush
on average; Radiohead's latest cartoon videoclip has been banned; a new
version has been released, without the black kid squeezing the big tit
and with about half the blood of the diplomat cutting himself into
pieces. It's currently #10 in the canadian tv charts, still raising,
and it's got a real prog feel: unlike Bush, their single sometimes have
screwy guitar riffs and moog riffs blended together; it's a multi-part
song, too.
on the rock & techno scene (*not* personal opinions):
in: 7/8's (50% sure)
in: moog (100% sure)
in: everything techno
stable: our lady peace, moist
out: green day, weezer, offspring
Weezer made a big flop. the company did only release the most ordinary
songs. would have been probably less worst if they had released their
alt-prog song (think: feedback, harmonics, baroque elec-guitar riff,
tullish scale shifts, and still pop). it's a less commercial song, but
surely brings something much fresher.
Besides, Grim Skunk are relatively big here (do not expect a prog band
to be very big).
