Not sure Gebhardt would have attempted that fill at 2.51, but I do know that Kenneth and Tomas would have come out of it bang on the nail.
Harsh?
I’m just reflecting that Patterns represents quite a departure in the singing style, enhanced by a very interesting production job (and I guess there is a bit of that Dungen retro feel in that production). Doubtless, someone will be able to cite a similar style somewhere in the back catalogue! Anyway, I like it!
@JERO: Where else would we go?!
Nice three-page feature on Elder and the excellent new album in the February edition of Prog (Rick Wakeman cover). Dungen article including Reine interview too.
@Johnny: It’s a bit discouraging, isn’t it? And this will mean nothing in the UK now for 5 years and counting. Still, given the sheer creativity exhibited recently, not least on Ancient Astronauts, I can’t imagine that fire being extinguished any time soon. But they have to get it right with the next drummer. Not only must he/she/they fit, but they must be sure that he/she/they (it?) will be as committed in terms of time and effort as they are, and stick around for a few years. I think we can give them time to decide upon whomever it might be and then to nurture the relationship. I think you can’t hurry this sort of thing. I hope I’m on the right track there, anyway!
@punknotyet: I had an eye on Zopp and then forgot about them, so thank you. I really like the sound of this!
@ the conscience: We all want peace, but if someone is attacking you, you have to defend yourself; that is not the moment to throw away guns.
Having said that, I am disturbed by the way countries are sending tanks and weapons to one side or the other. It is inevitable that this will drag on and become bigger. There was room for negotiation. It is not as simple as Russia = bad and everyone else = good. Russia has to have the NATO threat that has been building for years scaled back.
Anyway, I have always felt that this goes deeper than Putin’s megalomania. The globalist psychopaths, who manipulate all sides, seek to suck us all into World War Three.
Very glad to hear from you!
Aspects of humanity brought out in these situations, and on such a scale, are dispiriting. Under normal circumstances, one could scarcely believe that so many harboured such cruel instincts, but it seems it is so – and among all races.
Stay safe.
