What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

I am not inclined to listen to Dream Theatre so haven’t heard him too much, nor any of the others – Spock’s Beard also seems to have passed me by. All in all, I think this is a good album but I’m not generally a big fan of the so-called ‘supergroups’.

Today, it’s the turn of Dave Kerzner’s New World. OMG! An epic of an album with an awesome guestlist – Steve Hackett, Billy Sherwood, Keith Emerson, Simon Phillips, and others.



It’s unabashedly Floydian, Kerzner even sounds a bit like David Gilmour, except there was a luminosity about Gilmour’s voice that can’t be replicated (‘was’ being the operative word IMHO ...). It’s a grand tribute of top notch quality by someone who appears to be a sonics expert. Another one for the never ending listl!!

Certainly a good production, and anything with Simon Phillips get my attention. However, I find this one to be a little over the top for my liking. Just a bit too much going on. The lyrics don't make any sense to me at all either or maybe I am missing the point altogether??!!??
