[ANKÜNDIGUNG] The Syn

Beitrag von SOON »

Amazon hat geschrieben:The Syn first made their claim to iconic status in the 1960s, something highlighted in the new movie release this Spring 'Melody Makers' which features their classic freak-beat masterpiece 'Grounded' and interviews with vocalist and songwriting founder Steve Nardelli. They were a pioneering act in the world of beat prog. Opening for Jimi Hendrix in London, they played in front of crowds that included the Beatles, Eric Clapton, members of the Rolling Stones and more. Since the heyday of the late 1960s, Syn lineups have included Yes greats Chris Squire, Peter Banks and Alan White as well as Francis Dunnery and Tom Brislin and many more. Now, with the brand new 2016 studio release, Trustworks following on from an array of critically acclaimed and award winning albums, the connection to more modern prog yet is made clear. The new album is a collaboration between iconic Syn leader and founder vocalist Steve Nardelli and the Swedish progressive rock act Moon Safari who will tour with Yes this Spring. The album can be seen in many ways as a merging of the rich history of old school progressive rock and the modern incarnation through this remarkable musical melding. Jeremy Carroll at Precision Mastering, one the few people to have heard it before release, describes Trustworks as 'the best prog album of the decade' These legendary 1960 s beat prog pioneers have included a number of iconic alumni with links to the foundations of progressive rock music. Since the heyday of the late 1960s, Syn line-ups have included Yes greats Chris Squire, Peter Banks and Alan White as well as Francis Dunnery and Tom Brislin. The November 2005 CD release of the Syndestructible album was heralded by 20th Century guitar magazine journalist Robert Silverstein as being 'the best album of the century' and more recently 'the most influential progressive rock album of the decade 2000 - 2010'. Ten years later, Trustworks follows the pattern of historic albums from The Syn with Jeremy Carroll at Precision Mastering describing it as the best prog album of the decade! It seems that the iconic leader and founder of The Syn - revered as an early pioneer of progressive music vocalist and songwriter Steve Nardelli, has delivered yet another new masterpiece again.

Für mich funktioniert diese "Syn-These" nicht. Die Jungs von Moonsafari "müssen" im Stile von "The Syn"
spielen und singen. Damit verlieren sie die eigene Frische und Merkmale ihrer Spielweise. Nadrelli ist
im Stile der Endsechziger verharrt, also in einer Mischung aus Psychedelic und Beat.
Nur hier entsteht keine Fusion, keine Legierung ...
Deshalb hat es für mich auch keinen Kaufanreiz gegeben, obwohl ich die Moonsafaris sehr mag und auch ab und an "The Syn" höre.
Ich kenne das komplette Album aber nicht, nur die Songbeispiele/Auschnitte.

Ein interessantes Interview mit Steve Nardelli von "The Syn" u.a. über die Pre-Yes-Zeit spezielle zu Chris Squire und Peter Banks.
