Oh, and: STUNNING video! Dare I ask how you made it, or is it a trade secret? smile Either way, wow.

Thanks James Good to hear from you. Happy New Year. Your comments are very kind. Really glad you liked the song.

I'm trying to fit this into a genre but I don't know quite how to. It definitely has a lot of different elements in it and I could compare it to King Crimson I suppose but that's not really it. And it does have some prog rock elements and soundtrack components as well.

What band would you guys compare this to if you had to make a choice? In other words what do you think are the influences that are going on here?

This is just a really spectacular piece of work and I wanted to know if you think any specific bands in the prog rock genre are showing up as influences here

Great job.

Thanks David for the awesome comments. Really don't know how our songs transform into the finished pieces. They start very stripped down and develop kind of a feeling before they are finished. Roberts lyrics are very descriptive by themselves and with his taking up the video production has taken them to a new level. For me I really don't think about genre. I love the groove which comes from the drums and basslines and try and meld them with the melody of Roberts test vocal..

I asked Robert today what influences his music and this is what he sent me:

Quote:
Genre?? I didn`t consider that at all. The opening choral melody comes from classical music & parts of the rock song melody/rhythm from a guitar solo on an early Quicksilver album. I listened to prog rock way back when but any influence would be unconscious. Actually our own Order Of the Hoax gave me the confidence that an acapella choir could work integrated in a rock song...and that was entirely built around your instrumental track.

Really glad you liked the song.
