This seems like an interesting thread, and a little later I think I'll participate, but can we try to keep these song and album topics in the Songs/Albums forum. That fine forum is just halfway down the interstate, and you can cruise down there full blast, top down. See ya over there. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Eruption: Bach in 20th century

Spanish Fly: How?

Cathedral: Brown sound played through a pipe organ

1984: Sounds like a robot throwing up in slo-mo

316: Simple and beautiful, like a lullaby

primary: too much cheez, too much Page

New World: Beautiful vibe like 316, but sadder

[Raldo]

Eruption:

Spanish Fly: Still can't believe that he plays so fast on an accoustic.

Cathedral: From the middle to the end, it just mezmorizes you.

1984: 1980's synth at it's best

316: a nice piece

primary: unbelievable sound

New World: melodic

I think that he uses all fingers for the the part that has the high E going with the low melody line simultaneously. I cheat and pick the high E with a pick and user an overhand hammer-on with my left hand on the low strings, there is no way in hell that I could do that the way he does it.

Good question, tapping and impossible stretching on a nylon string acoustic guitar.

Genius.

I never thought of the crazy train thing, but yeah you're right.
Eruption.... invention of the wheel
Spanish fly.... Goodyear verses Firestone
Cathedral...... Radials
316........ Afterthought.
I won't describe the rest since they don't compare to the rest.
