[kj] Potential Heresy

[fluwdot at earthlink.net]

thanks for passing that along ale x. "too much blood" does have some element of geordie circa 
Fire Dances.
technically that "element" is a "clean" tone embellished with chorus and delay. those two 
effects will make most melodic or arpeggiated licks sound geordie esque.
wonder if anyone else cares to add other odd sources of fire dances era geordie esque tone 
like this stones ditty?  


anyway, did you notice the bass on "too much blood" has some of youth's disco sound and 
feel as well? i quite like it 


since the subject is up (funk disco rock stuff), it has been on my mind lately as i have been 
digging through old records locating funk/disco/rock gems of the late 70's era. unfortunately, 
due to the bad rep that disco got from mainstream culture via the disco bonfire events, general 
racism and village people etc, the influence of disco/funk has not received it's due respect in 
the collective conscience, so many of the disco attempts by rock and jazz bands of that era 
are underrated. but i must admit, surprising, to liking much of it. take out the hi hat on those 
records and have the drummer play burundi drums and you have one hell of a sound. as kJ 
fans already know.  

lately there has been the resurgence of this disco influence (rapture, stellastar..etc.) but i am 
still waiting for the sound to be done just right again. i.e. with burundi drums, cavernous 
howling twang guitar and some jovially demented vocalist. 

anyone know of a band that fits that description?
