Check This Out :-)
 

I added a spot on my site called "The Hot Spot". There's some cool stuff on there right now. I dont really want to say what it is but it might strike up some debating. In a good way. Just see for yourself and let me know what you think..feel free to talk about it. It could be interesting.http://www.angelfire.com/music6/thehotspot

Cool idea for a page! Thanks for sharing. I never noticed the similarity in the chord progession (V-IV-I) of that first part of "Angel" with "Werewolves." In musical terms, it's a dominant-subdominant-tonic progression.

On the page you say that there's an organ on "Angel," but it's actually an electronic piano.

I know New York, it's on Alone With Everybody (lame cd, IMO), the first Ashcroft solo album, but it can't be about 9/11, it came out in 2000. By the way, those kind of similarities are quite common and especially in Illume case sounds really vague to me. :)

Yeah, it is a keyboard but the instrument on it selected was probably an organ so same difference lol. When I hear it I think of like a hammond organ or something...I dunno, its trying to be an Organ one way or another :shrug: :shrug:

The only mistake was my info on the song's date of birth. It is obvious it is the same song. Same bassline, and everything. Some people just don't have an ear for it i guess. :shrug:

Jeremy, stop with the lies! :D

Hey, just my opinion. Anyway, that bassline isn't really rare, you know. ;)

you two crack me up! brian just face the facts already :xoxo:

Never!! it's all lies i tell you! :laugh:

As soon as my computer stops sucking copious amounts of ass (dialup), i'll have to check this out because it's certainly interesting. Good job!

No, it really has nothing to do with an organ. There is no organ patch or voice on that particular piano model. In fact, there are only four voicings on it: Piano 1, Piano 2, Piano 3, Harpsichord. That's just what that instrument sounds like.
Ah, okay. That's a different matter. It sounds like something different to many people. To me, it sounds like a distorted jazz guitar through a fuzz box, or a Wurly through a rotary speaker. But it's a sound that's essentially unique to Yamaha.

Listen to Bring On The Night. That one is just incredible. :nod:

i heard Werewolves for the first time yesterday on the classic rock station and I thought it was Angel but I heard the piano and I freaked out for a min. Then I found out it was Warren Zevon and I made the connection. It was weird..I kept saying "This sounds like Angel!!"

I sent GeminiCusp82 a private message yesterday and figured, hell, I might as well post it. Illume sounds an awful lot like Richard Ashcroft's New York, but there is also a second song called C'Mon People (We're Makin' It Now) that sounds quite a bit like Say You Will. It's not nearly as obvious but there are definite elements. Lindsey must have been listening to a bit of the old Ashcroft when he started production on the Say You Will album. I really doubt either of these songs are consciously ripped off though. We take influence and inspiration from things all the time. I know I do. And sometimes it's difficult to tell if the idea is coming from you or you've heard or seen (in my case) it before.

I am loving these Richard Ashcoft songs. Love his voice. I need to go out and buy some CDs.
