ANOTHER QUICK NOTE
On a whim I picked up a new cd on Sunday. I had to go to church to set up the sound system for our praise band, got there early, decided to kill a few minutes at Best Buy up the street. Ended up buying Spock's Beard's double-cd called Snow.And it blew me away.
It's still blowing me away.
Where has Spock's Beard been all my life?
So what does it sound like? Hard to describe, actually. Take a bit of The Who, throw in a healthy dose of Kansas circa Point of Know Return, maybe some Yes and a little Genesis, then a dash of Jethro Tull. Then lay on some modern sound and some stuff you've never heard and you approach what Spock's Beard does on Snow.
It's probably the least commercial cd I've run across in a while. And it's easily one of the best, too.
