Saturday Night Gospel is about going to rock concerts - that's their "church." It's the theme that people love. And Arthuriana is obviously about Arthurian legend and has a bunch of little references to movies about it. Best part in concert is when Wendy gets up to play the violin and Mike gets to play drums for a minute. Seanchan posted... went back to listen to my top 2 from Singularity after that and the difference in production/sound quality is shocking! Yeah, it sounds so different. The mastering and layering evolved so much and their later albums show their talent more because of it. Singularity still feels raw but it's what started the ascent. That and Butch Vig having to close Smart Studios. Seanchan posted... I have to ask, is Sunspot a full time band? That is to say, is it their career or just a weekend/moonlighting kind of thing? They've got a ridiculously low Spotify playrate, and yet they've put out quite a few albums. It's a moonlighting kind of thing. Mike runs one of the big ghost tour companies in the country. Ben is a high school music teacher. Wendy does a lot of things (I don't know how she does it) and doesn't really talk about her "main" job. They've been doing this for 25 years so they've put out enough albums to cover that time. They still have fun doing it. And, if they wanted to be, they could be hitmakers on rock radio. But they don't want too much fame, because that would ruin the fun. --- [This post adds nothing to the discussion but for whatever reason I felt the need to say it anyway.] <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:967462798] in Rank the T...
