Not related to this album, but for the past week I've been repeatedly listening to Frances The Mute and Cassandra Gemini in particular and I think I may have to be stopped.
I've been watching random footage from their reunion shows for the past two days and I'm craving an European tour so bad
I finally snagged a copy on vinyl recently. My wife, who usually can't stand prog was super into it. It's the small victories. Lol
the acoustic album is certainly interesting, but overall it's very much not my thing. Technically very complex and cool, but in practice I'm not sure how much I actually enjoy it
Listened to all of Frances the Mute today. Just truly impeccable stuff. I also noticed that on spotify they’ve broken up Cassandra Gemini into separate tracks. Kind of odd but I suppose it makes sense in this age of streaming. I just can’t imagine only wanting to listen to certain parts of the song and not the full thing.
The Latin percussion. The Latin-Jazz piano. That incredible-sounding upright bass. It brings things out of their songwriting that I didn’t even know were there. Phenomenal record.
i already loved the original record but this rearrangement is one of the best things they’ve ever done
The self-titled record hasn’t really connected with me. But this reimagining sounds up my alley so I’m gonna give it a go. Edit: 4 songs in and yeah, I am very into this.
