You didn’t know, but I come trained from the “Gentle Giant” (look THAT one up on your Napster) school of thought. If the harmonies aren’t slightly off by a tone, (just to make your ears prick up) then it’s not strange enough! I think “King Crimson” also molded my listening tastes… [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/mad.gif[/img]
I’ll report on Tricky tonight.. must..sleep..agh, to the cryochamber with me![/b]
I know of Gentle Giant. Haven’t heard ’em in a while, but of them I am aware. And King Crimson… [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] The inimitable Fripp! “21st Century Schizoid Man!” “In the Hall of the Crimson King!” The band that inflicted Greg Lake on the world before ELP! Oh, yes. These guys I know as well. Granted, I don’t think Tricky is as odd as some of the music I listen to (you did say, though, that MM’s musical taste was “REALLY out there,” so I was going on the notion that you thought these were fairly strange groups), but I think he might be strange to some sets of ears. At least MM didn’t say he was into John Zorn or Lou Reed’s “Metal Machine Music,” or there would be some curious Lexxians with bleeding eardrums right about now.
