If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ...

@lowrider57 I apologize for attributing your observations to ghosthouse.
@ghosthouse I agree with everything in your last post. Don't know about "A Closer Listen"--I think Path went live about 2 months ago, but I'm not certain. The Peter Gabriel link is terrific. One of my boys is spinning vinyl Gabriel upstairs pretty regularly. Regarding your cultural prophets observation--Bruce Cockburn's "Maybe the Poet" comes to mind:
Male female slave or free
Peaceful or disorderly
Maybe you and he will not agree
But you need him to show you new ways to see
Don't let the system fool you
All it wants to do is rule you
Pay attention to the poet
You need him and you know it  

@astewart8944 , you make a great point that music is generational. And 
20-somethings definitely do not think life is a melody. Chaos and noise... well said.

astewart, i gave kraus a listen--it's pretty well executed, but very, very derivative of my bloody valentine and somewhat unvarying in approach from song to song. i am a fan of the shoegaze genre and  hope to see him develop more of his own voice going forward.

Great lyric from Cockburn.  Thanks for sharing.   

If you aren't familiar with the site, you might enjoy very much a visit to A Closer Listen.  Well-written reviews and tons of new music well off the too-much-trodden commercial path; tracks for sampling provided as well.  Link here:

Signal to Noise is from UP ... an outstanding PG disc; highly recommended if it isn't already in the (family :-) library.

Lyric to Signal to Noise

You know the way that things go
When what you fight for starts to fall
And in that fuzzy picture
The writing stands out on the wall
So clearly on the wall
Send out the signals deep and loud
And in this place, can you reassure me
With a touch, a smile - while the cradle's burning
All the while the world is turning to noise
Oh the more that it's surrounding us
The more that it destroys
Turn up the signal
Wipe out the noise
Send out the signal deep and loud
Man I'm losing sound and sight
Of all those who can tell me wrong from right
When all things beautiful and bright
Sink in the night
Yet there's still something in my heart
That can find a way
To make a start
To turn up the signal
Wipe out the noise
Wipe out the noise
Wipe out the noise
You know that's it
You know that's it
You know that's it
Receive and transmit
Receive and transmit
Receive and transmit
You know that's it
You know that's it
Receive and transmit
You know that's it
You know that's it
Receive and transmit

Songwriters: Donovan Germain / Mark Myrie / Peter Gabriel

@loomisjohnson Thanks for listening to it and the feedback.
@ghosthouse Once again I enjoyed your post. The PG lyrics seem spot on for our current time. I will give acloserlisten some of my attention.
Peace
