Is the Alex Masi a play on the Gensis song? |
I'd call that Sonic Youth album, Washing Machine, their high water mark. It's very progressive and experimental to my ears. Not at all like GYBE. The Diamond Sea is a mixture of melodies and discord, serenity and chaos, loud and soft, dark and light, composition and improvisation... all in one song. The work they've done since then is still good, but nothing has hit me like that album.
I don't think the Alex Masi song has got much in common with the Genesis song (I'm assuming you mean Moonlit Knight). It's more of a guitar jam a la Vai or Satriani in a prog vein. With a clever title, of course, probably paying homage to one of his influences.
