Re: [Mellotronists] Are The Carpenters prog?

2005-04-30 by fdoddy@aol.com

In all seriousness, I am a Carpenters fan and was seriously disapointed 
with the 30th year retrospective that featured many "remixes" that 
Richard Carpenter produced. For the most part, the remixes were awful. 
He triggered alternate, more contemporary drum sounds off the original 
recordings. Not only were the sounds way to big for the rest of the 
arrangement, there was no time correction...just awful.\ufffd

\ufffdI do believe Herman's Hermits were more prog than The Carpenters just 
by their association with their producer, John Paul Jones, if I'm not 
mistaken\ufffd

       I find, after repeated listening, that the Carpenters are only 
slightly less prog than Herman's Hermits. Anyone care to comment?
