Re: On Nuevo Mexico

Beware the Tull comparisons!

Let me put in the caveat that I have not heard this fine record...or maybe I did and was chemically kept from remembering

However,

Every review of a flute-dominated record says "sounds like Tull". I hate that...or Focus - two of my favorite bands that sound little alike!

Many Latin American bands use the flute - one of my recent faves is Flor De Loto from Peru. But they're heavy and do not remind anyone of Tull.

When I read a record review and see that I cringe...it tells me nothing about the band. There were some good points in the reviews...it's just that comparison always bothered me.
