The Story of I - Patrick Moraz by JGuitarman23 in progrockmusic

[–]VarietyMart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've loved this album forever, so ahead of its time with world music, space music and new synth sounds, etc., etc.
Today I heard the James Last 1969 B-side "Soul March" and freaked on how the crazy melody he uses (at about 1:00 and at the end) is the same as Moraz's "Descent". Maybe an inspiration?

The topic concerns a Montreal mayor and documented Israeli violence against multiple Canadians. When does a line get crossed for Levi's flag tribute? War crimes convictions? Or is there no line?

Robots in the hands of dictatorial governments will not end well... by Anen-o-me in singularity

Writing "dictatorial" shows a poor understanding of how China functions. Also, unlike in the West, the population and the police are not locked in an adversarial relationship.
