DT fans should *definitely* check out Superior's CD, "Behind".
You've probably seen Bernd Basmer mention that his band Superior
has recently released their CD. I've been listening to it for a while now,
and it keeps growing on me. I'm certain that many other DT fans would also
really enjoy this disc.
It's got a lot of great, heavy guitar combined with some nice
acoustic passages. And the keyboards are also superb. The combination of
the guitar, keyboards and intricate rhythms reminds me of DT, but they
definitely have their own sound (not a DT sound-alike). The guitar is
generally heavier than DT, but it's mixed in with enough acoustic work and
keyboards that it doesn't get to be too much.
When I first got it, I had no idea what to expect. The most pleasant
surprise was the excellent vocals. Usually for me it's the singer that
determines if I'll like a band a lot -- I was impressed by Superior's singer
right away. The er, superior vocals ;) combined with the great music keeps
the disc repeatedly in my CD player.
I highly recommend Superior, and it has the extra advantage of having
Ytsejam's Bernd Basmer in the band! :-). Has anyone else out there heard
this CD? I'll be curious to hear what you think.
