stoopid Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 These guys have been my most recent music obsession. It's always great to find a band that's languishing in relative obscurity, must be like what Rush fans experienced around the time FBN was released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pip65 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I love this band and have been listening to Falling Satellites quite a lot recently. I saw them live at a festival this summer - they were fabulous but, more than almost any other band I've seen, they really seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a great time. The weather was hot (for the UK anyway), the band did the soundcheck wearing jeans and T-shirts but performed in really loud Hawaiian shirts and, in the case of John Mitchell, Matching shorts, flower garland and flip-flops! They clearly don't take themselves too seriously but played some of the most interesting music around with effortless skill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Milliontown is my favorite (I listened to that one in the car a few days back.) I have their second album too, but I didn't like it as much. Stopped there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Milliontown is one of my top-5 favorite albums ever. Hyperventilate, Black Light Machine and Milliontown are truly incredible tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Milliontown is my favorite (I listened to that one in the car a few days back.) I have their second album too, but I didn't like it as much. Stopped there. All of Falling Satellites is on youtube, so risk-free listening. If, like me, you decide you like what you're hearing, then you can always buy a copy. If buying Falling Satellites from Amazon, you get the MP3s immediately to download and enjoy before the CD arrives. I love that part about new releases on Amazon. I enjoy all three albums for different reasons, but Falling Satellites is easily my favorite. Edited September 3, 2016 by stoopid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperventilate, Black Light Machine and Milliontown are truly incredible tracks. Considering it's their first album recording together, it's an amazing release. A lot of effort went into those songs and the production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) BTW, great lead work on Closer to the Sun (I think the Satriani played it on the album, but obviously this guy knows his way around a guitar): Then there's a major oops by the guitarist, who forgot he was in alternate tuning(?) immediately after the solo. They laughed it off as any talented musician should... stuff happens, and it always seems to happen playing live.

toymaker Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for turning me on to this band. I've been listening to Milliontown a lot on youtube and am going to order a copy for sure. There's some speedy stuff here, but it's a lot more musical and compelling than a lot of that sort of mathematical wankery I hear in other bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some speedy stuff here, but it's a lot more musical and compelling than a lot of that sort of mathematical wankery I hear in other bands. That's what I hear as well - there's technical proficiency, but their music is not "technical* for sake of just throwing notes out there. It's a good example of the proper conservation of notes. And they write great melodies, and I feel sometimes that prog artists lose perspective. Songs still need to be inherently pleasant or somehow ear wormy/catchy in order to survive the test of time.

Nicely stated. Much better than my rejected analogy, "all boink and no romance." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Two pages in, and no mention of a certain Frost of the Celtic variety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
