Synth-DIY Yahoo! Groups Archives

Hey Mark,

Never heard of Monster Magnet; I listened to a few tracks; not bad.

One of my friends is mostly into prog and he turned me on to this group during the mid 90's. They are a mix of metal and symphonic prog. Their vocalist "Mr. Doctor" reminds me a little of Peter Gabriel when he was with Genesis and slightly of Peter Hammill.

I like them, but I don't find myself listening to their albums too often.

You can't go far wrong with a nice dollop of 'Spine Of God' by Monster Magnet at ridiculous volume.

I like Yes and the Moodies, too, but they're no more pretentious than Bach, Beethoven or Zappa. Pretension is irrelevant. It's all entertainment. Now K.C. and the Sunshine Band...
