Spock's Beard - In the mouth of madness (Live 99')

Spock's Beard, una de las llamadas "superbandas" del rock progresivo por su contenido musical docto, así como por la calidad ejecutiva de cada integrante.

Formada en 1992 en Los Angeles por los hermanos Neal y Alan Morse. Neal tocaba los teclados, guitarra y hacía la voz principal, además de ser el compositor primario; Alan tocaba la guitarra eléctrica. El par se unió con los músicos Nick D'Virgilio (batería) y Dave Meros (bajo) y lanzaron su álbum debut, The Light, en 1995 que soprendería al mundo progresivo. Al cuarteto luego se unió luego el veterano teclista de Osaka Japón, Ryo Okumoto.

La banda interpretaba un tipo de rock progresivo con inclinación a vocales similares a la música pop (tomando mucha influencia de Genesis), a diferencia de la aproximación al hard rock de The Flower Kings o el sentimiento de metal de Dream Theater. La banda también bien conocida por uso de armonías multi-vocales complicadas y el uso de contrapuntos en cortes como Gibberish, Thoughts (Part I and II), June, y Devil's Got My Throat.

Spock's Beard is a progressive rock band formed in 1992 in Los Angeles by brothers Neal and Alan Morse. Neal played keyboards and was the lead vocalist, as well as being the primary songwriter before leaving the band in 2002 to pursue a solo career. Alan plays electric guitar. The pair teamed with fellow musicians Nick D'Virgilio (drums) and Dave Meros (bass) and released their debut album, The Light, in 1995. The quartet were later joined by veteran keyboardist Ryo Okumoto.

The band plays a brand of progressive rock with pop music leanings (drawing much influence from Genesis), as opposed to the metal feel of Dream Theater. The band is also well known for their intricate multi-part vocal harmonies (such as those found on certain Gentle Giant songs) and use of counterpoint on cuts such as "Gibberish", "Thoughts (Parts I and II)", "June", " A Guy Named Sid Pt.5: Sid's Boy Choir", and "Devil's Got My Throat."

I totally disagree (in a nice way). I think Nick has a superior voice and I also think two on keyboards is too much for my taste. However, it's Spocks Beard and I love Spocks Beard in any incarnation!!
