"Hole in the moon" a Geir&Jarle original

[Tony W]

Interesting compilation of a song. I like the transitions. Zappa meets Floyd meets Geir and Jarle. I really liked how this worked out, but I waited entirely too long for some melody guitar. The beginning was begging for some melody licks. How you resisted is beyond me. I was actually fidgeting until I heard some guitar.

[Tangled Wires]

I got the Pink Floyd vibe too right from the opening notes and the way the songs changes in character throughout gives it a real prog rock feel, it keeps your attention throughout with all the clever percussion additions and guitar parts.

A "little" song done over a weekend you say....most bands would take a year to come up with something of this quality!

Top tune guys.

Wow, this is really CooL Prog at it's Finest !!   Norwegian-Bowie-Zappa-Floyd NBZF Ya!

[Geir]

Thanks guys for the kind words !!! Much appreciated !!

We originally set out to make a 17 minute song, but Mr. Jameson wouldn't let us do more than this ...... well  next time maybe

Somehow I missed this, glad you bumped it a bit. You need a double album of this, not 17 minutes! There's lots of different ideas and flavours here but it hangs together really well,. Definite flashes of zappa and Floyd plus of course wacky Scandinavian prog rock. There's lots of great musicianship going on here but I particularly liked the bass, great work there. Vocals spot on as always and overall its an incredibly impressive piece of work. You really do come from a musically talented family!

All I can say is perhaps the moon knows the secret of the new sound.....

I was listening and thinking "this really shouldn't work... all the different threads of ideas... but it does...". I love it

I saw Paul McCartney (sp?) playing "Band on the Run" the other day on TV and was struck by the amount of success he's had piecing unrelated strings together. If done right, it can really work.  And brothers, you did it right.

Great arrangement/changes/everything ... I must admit ... I'm new
and a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff I'm hearing here and just can't
keep up and post on enough of these ... This is excellent.

Its all been said but gotta repeat this iis a classy piece of music. It is very Pink Floyd. Great feel to the song and great changes which work well together

And by the way Geir, you posting this song seriously derailed the AndyR recording schedule!

I was all set to finally record a "four-on-the-floor" pop-rock song I've had up my sleeve for ages. Part of the reason for choosing it was a "simple" start to learning the drum stuff on my BR1600...

But then you posted this... (and my double bass arrived, that was another factor...) ... and I remembered a song I deliberately wrote as "parts" in the nineties. Now I'm nearly two weeks into recording and arranging the bluddy thing! And possibly two weeks more to go... and I'm not even sure it will come in under the size limit even when squashed as a 128 mp3

... and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!
