Edvard:
WTH... it's basically a steel drum without the 50-gallon barrel attached, tuned to what sounds like A Phrygian*  :-\

[EDIT]Wikipedia has more on it's construction, and it's actually a little more complicated than that (but not much), incorporating a corresponding bowl for the bottom with an opening to create Helmholtz resonance, and tuned to (more or less) a D Aeolian (Natural Minor), without the 'G'.

Agree though, it's quite a mesmerizing sound.

*Actually, depending on what you choose for your "root" note (fundamental), the same scale could be A Phrygian, A# Lydian, C Mixolydian, D Aeolian, E Locrian, or F Major... if you're a geek about that sort of thing, that is... :-[

40hz:
Not so much a video as a 1.5 hour long documentary!

This is about of the only documentary on prog rock I've ever seen that got all the details right, including: which band really originated the genre (The Wilde Flowers) - and what effectively destroyed it (hint: ELP and Genesis post Peter Gabriel).

If you're one of those people who hauls out a pair of headphones and secretly listens to old Moody Blues and Caravan vinyl albums - by yourself - late at night - with all the lights turned off - this documentary is for you.
 ;D :Thmbsup:

Note: it's probably not a bad idea to download if you're interested. The BBC has been pretty adamant about getting their stuff removed from Youtube - and this copy has been up for about a year now.

Moody Blues!!  omg...that is so closet for me!  Nice, called me out there.
I secretly like skipping to the "it's not the way..." part, before it picks up again.

That's ok. You're among friends here. ;D

In my case it's: The Actor, Watching and Waiting, Timothy Leary's Dead, and Let Merlin Cast His Spell for 'headphone hour.'  ;D

But that's how it goes when you're:



note: Good to see Dave Pegg here on bass again. He was easily  (from 1979-1995) the best of all of the Tull bassists IMO! 8)

Edvard:
I'm a metalhead from way back, and I always find it *ahem* interesting what long-haired freaks with waaaay too much volume on their hands will come up with to keep the genre from drying up.  But... ummm...  Dude, whaa???

This just in from our Japan office of the "What is this, I don't even" department:





WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot (how did I even get to this part of youtube? Wait, don't answer that...)
