"New Prog," the genre - A MUST READ

[RogorMortis]

I just have to comment on that article Spaz has brought and that is of course to do with Mew that comes from my Denmark.

I do enjoy them as I have their albums and will say yes they do belong to the neo progressive movement but to compare them to Yes in my view is an insult to Yes. Mew have their own sound with a singer who sings in a high pitched voice (and who I thought was female to begin with) but their songs have nothing to do with typical Yes songs in structure - they are too short to start with. Mew is a band that relies on a heavy guitar sound but not with a an independent sound that Howe produced.

But I'm positivley surprised that they have been picked out as the Danish scene of today is not that progressive at all. Denmark had their hayday back in the periode of 1971-75 but to say that Mew is the new Yes is overshooting the goal. But I'd like to hear Mossy's view as she like Mew too.
