steve-bbb Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 yes am liking this also very much - when i first saw it on facespace i was trying to think who did the original of 'hit me' until i noticed the comment about it being their first original offering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I must be in the minority of those who these guys do absolutely nothing for. Polished technique and slick production and arranging, but it's just too much for me to enjoy both as a musician and general listener.

nottswarwick Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Our guitarist is well into these. I am vey impressed technically, but I won't choose to listen to it. It bores me to be honest. But it say again, there is some mighty talent on show. However, today I have been teaching the solo at the end of Dire Straits, Tunnel Of Love. Knopfler uses such feel and taste, and it is not that hard technically. But it MOVES me. And that is MUSIC. in my opinion, obv.

Some of their stuff is great but its not something I'd choose to put on. However, I'd pick them all day every day over the absolute codswallop crap that is Dire Straits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I love how tight they are although they're so tight with the stabs at times its bordering on OCD. I think they will gain more respect doing their own material than rehashing other songs because not all the songs they've played fit into their playing style. I wish the bass was fatter in the mix because the keyboards and drums seem to dominate everything which is a shame because Henrik is doing some interesting stuff..

skej21 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Fantastically gifted players but I find their arrangements boring and technical for the sake of it. We all know they can play play but they have about as much soul as a Sibelius midi arrangement IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackers Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I like the music, but the guy's voice reminds me too much of all those new style RnB singers, which I really don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've just had to listen to a bit of Slave followed by the Ohio Players to floss my brain after watching that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Good musicianship and a lot of great ideas. These are talented players. I liked it, even if it did make me feel totally inadequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I lasted about halfway through before I got bored with it. No Funk present really but obviously very talented and gifted folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
