The music I could take or leave (I think I have an Orbital album, not sure if this one), but the sound quality is very good.JR8 wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV-hSgL1R74
Orbital - Halcyon On and On
Recorded with 'FFRR' - Full Frequency Range Recording = down to summink like 25Hz is still faithfully there. (of course you aren't gonna get that through your $5 cans is you Winston!
Ok just watched it. It's a good show about The Allmans and Lynrd Sknyrd.Mi Amigo wrote:Watched a great BBC documentary last night, all about the development of southern (USA) rock.

I had a dig around on Wiki and it led to > the vocals are 'death growls' and the genre 'Melodic death metal', which sounds about right...Brah wrote:I almost liked the music, until the singing started.

I wonder what these people's voices will sound like ten years later just speaking.
Yeah, I know what you mean, but at least Marshall Tucker got a look-in. I don't think he was/is very well known in the UK. I only heard his band cos a DJ on Radio Caroline used to play them quite a lot - actually as he (the DJ) had a Birmingham (UK, not Alabama!) accent, for a long time I thought they were actually called the Marshall Tooker Band.Brah wrote:Ok just watched it.

What I don't understand is how they could do a special on Southern Rock when they only gave a minute or less for Marshall Tucker, a smidgen of ZZ Top, and nothing of The Outlaws, none of Charlie Daniels except interviewing him, and there's a whole lotta other Southern bands they missed.
Grrr....
This pacified me a bit:
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4-yugdZUt0
The Outlaws - Green Grass High Tides: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm2USUqNQPg
While everyone was always going on about Skynrd's epic Freebird, The Outlaws counter to that, Green Grass High Tides blew it away. Skynrd had more fans though.
These guys were not bad:
Rossington-Collins Band - Don't Misunderstand Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDKx9zWINqM

Jeez what a state!
it is growling vocals. the idea of watching those bands is to release all the anger, frustration and a plethora of other pent up feeling.Brah wrote:I almost liked the music, until the singing started.

Glad you enjoyed that - here's another good one of his (check out the cool double-necked ambidextrous guitar!):JR8 wrote:Mi Amigo wrote: Ah, Otway and Barratt, happy memories. I remember seeing them on Whistle Test - I loved this one in particular:

Woah.... that's brilliant. I just love the concept of 'visually apparently shambolic, (and yet actually highly gifted) - the intentional understatement)
Thanks for that, I REALLY enjoyed it, should one risk sounding a ponce by suggesting that's rather seminal, a stepping stone on the short path that joined tired-70sAOR to Punk?
Brah, I'm with you on that. I'm partial to a bit of metal, or whatever you call it in the modern vernacular (to me, it's all rock n roll fundamentally), but I don't 'get' the screaming bit. Well, I kind of 'get' it, I just don't like it. Each to their own and all that, and yes, I know, I'm getting old.Brah wrote:I almost liked the music, until the singing started.
