Hey all,
have you hard of the band Animals as Leaders? They have a very cool instrumental album out, based on Tosin Abasi's playing of the 8 string. He has a very interesting technique and is able to produce some great sounds. -------------------- Roland Cube 30; Toneport GX; Cort kx1; Ibanez RG1570; Ibanez EW35ABE-NT http://www.last.fm/user/Mr_T83 |

Is that a good thing? He's doing alot of classical finger picking and playing the guitar like its a bass. Sometimes he almost has an electronic dance music thing going on together with these heavy riffs. -------------------- Roland Cube 30; Toneport GX; Cort kx1; Ibanez RG1570; Ibanez EW35ABE-NT http://www.last.fm/user/Mr_T83 |

as I said, those guys can for sure play, I just don't really like it when music turns into sports and it is only about "hey, check out what I can play...", I am missing the musical part in that song that you linked.

Reminds me to some Messhugah stuff. Nice material. I'll search for it a bit more

I agree with your statement on music turning into sports. However, I seem to experience this band in a different way though. Reminds me to some Messhugah stuff. Nice material. I'll search for it a bit more Certainly doesn't hurt if you like Meshuggah. There are quite a few parts that remind me of them. -------------------- Roland Cube 30; Toneport GX; Cort kx1; Ibanez RG1570; Ibanez EW35ABE-NT http://www.last.fm/user/Mr_T83 |

I've discovered Tosin just recently. A great composer and player indeed. But I think I would better like that band if it had vocals

I agree, the music is indeed technically challenging, but it lacks musicallity, it's too "robotic". Possibly some vocals could make it more human like Aleksander said.

I think it has to do with the style. This guy for sure wants to make his music "Robotic". And I'm sure he has his fans that want to listen robotic music. This has more to do with the taste of everyone
