Asmodean

I find Castles among his most inspiring (but for the chorus... Those are Tom's largest point-of-miss with me), but This House, I'm Sorry and No Response are heaviest-rotation.

I like Names for the message and the subtle rock theme to the beat, but it's still very new, so not sure if it will grow on me or if the chorus will drive me away.

It's not, though. Rap, that is. Tom Macdonald a post above does rap.

This is... Something in the Country/Western family, but it's still fun, so what does it matter, I suppose.

Rap utilises different lyrical techniques.

A singer attempts to hit certain notes to conform his voice to the melody - or "play" a melody with his voice.

A rapper conforms his speaking to the flow - or attempts to create a flow through rhyme and rhythm, rather than hitting notes.

I was pointing out that No One hates Rap music. Country music is White Man's Rap.  :D

Well, The Asmo is gray, which is achromatic, what with being a blend ow huwhite and black, so technically, I suppose it means He hath no colour. although equally technically, that would mean that nobody huwhite or black does, either.

Come to think of it, CMY can produce black. RGB can produce white. The only way to produce gray is by lightening black, or darkening white. The Asmo is so totally the uniquest-est of all achromatic beings!

...So I generally don't like Tom Macdonald's choruses. That got me thinking; is there a artist out there, whose choruses I like better than the rest of their lyrics? (On average)

Aaand... Moonspell. Portugese Gothic (give-or-take) Metal.


A little harder-hitting one for those who appreciate such;

i first heard a studio recording of hedges playing this some forty plus yeares ago. i stopped what i was doing and just lisened.

every time i hear it again i still stop just to listen.

headges has been dead over twenty five years, but this connectionm will aways be there.

and he never took himself seriously, ever. go to 7:00 to hear an iron butterfly riff he just threw in for fun

Thanks. I've never heard of Michael Hedges. To my untrained ears his playing seems to be on a par with classical guitarists like John Williams or David Russell.
