Hello,

I recently discovered a great band called Ars Nova.
Their music a kind of mix between ELP and movie music, if you like ELP you'll like them ! I have listened to 2 albums at the moment ("Android Domina" and "The Goddess of Darkness") , and I really like their compositions, though they are very complicate at first listens. There are sometimes really \m/ moments that make me want to play air synth. :twisted:

Check their page on progarchives.com (http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=28) with a great MP3 that shows well what kind of music they make.

peace

Nice! I've just listened Demolition and Massacre and the style of horror movie music has seemed me cool. I have liked very much this band and from now on I'm going to begin to listen this fantastic band,

Wow, I just checked out that demo MP3 and WHOA!!!!! Really cool stuff. Definitely reminds me of ELP in some parts, but killer phrases and playing. :shock: Here comes WinMX so I can check out some more tracks before I decide to drop cash on the albums. :P

Anyone know the settings on a Hammond to get that type of growling type sound that these girls are getting on that organ? I'm sure there's some kind of distortion going on there as well, but that organ just sounds so damn crunchy and yummy. Ayreon gets a similar sound as well.

Togakure> It seems that Keiko Kumagai has a dedicated Hammond keyboard, but I don't know much about hammonds :

I think she has played on some Ayreon albums. I `m sure she played on the "Flight of the Migrator" album.... :wink:
