  • how did you know? I suspect you are a musician and an intellectual. Were'nt the composers you refer to all inspired in some way by Mozart? Thank you for responding by the way.

  • @frenchexperience

    I figured out what you meant in context, and you are correct, I am a musician and an intellectual. Not all composers were influenced by Mozart. From my knowledge, Shostakovitch was inspired by Mahler's compositions. I am not sure of Rachmaninoff's influences, but his style is a bit more fiery and less contained sounding than Mozart. Shostakovitch has intense compositions. Mahler's compositions are very emotional sounding too.

  • Does anyone know what keyboard he is using for the Slippermen solo here?

    It's not an ARP Soloist is it?

  • He's using an ARP Quadra.

  • I love how Tony is always hunched over when playing his keyboards

  • tony banks is awsome, but keith emerson is better, and i know what you gonna say: "don't come to make polemics here" or "just listen to the music and stop making comparissions" or something like that, but hey, he really is better.

  • @gazzo45 You can shut it. ATTWT and Duke are fabulous albums.

  • It's an ARP Quadra. Tony used it on the Duke, Abacab, Mama, and Invisible Touch tours.

  • he lacked so much later on without steves guitar sound

  • cool!

  • @SPAZZOID100 'A Trick of the Tail' is great - so is 'Wind & Wuthering'. After that however...

  • @gazzo45

    Nah...it got better with "A Trick of The Tail"--without peter

  • @gazzo45 :)

  • @framais Hi - I disagree with you slightly. Genesis with Peter Gabriel were/are THE greatest band of all time.
