Steven Wilson comments and praises Opeth!

Also out of curiosity, why would you ask?

"Samsara" is the title of a great Tea Party song.

The Tea Party is a Canadian hard rock band that is heavily influenced by Middle-Eastern music. They're quite adventerous & experimental and mix in many different genres of music effectively. A mix of folk, blues, middle-eastern, classic rock, metal, etc.

Their first 4 records are absolute classics. Their last two are not as strong, but still solid.

As I understand it, they've actually had a number 1 hit in Canada. However, don't let that turn you off. Much of their music is light-years beyond the mainstream.

Check out the following tracks:
"The Bazaar"
"Psychophant"
"Master & the Margeurita"

They have a good singer too, sounds kind of like Jim Morrison.

Thanks for the info. It sounds really great. I mean, the band sounds like something I may really like. Any idea where I may find those or other tracks to give them a listen before I run out and buy any of their records? By the way, I appreciate all the info people. I really love finding new music, especially the high quality stuff that I find myself constantly listening to and usually defies anything resembling a simple description and is typically shunned by any common folk I may attempt to pass it along to in a moment of delirious "I just got done listening to this great piece of music from this tremendous band" glow...

Man, I am a bit insane, aren't I?

He'd probably sound like Vincent Cavanagh on "The Silent Enigma"...which would be killer.

That guy is emo.

 

[Mr Samsara]

That guy is emo.

How does one define "emo" anyway? I have no idea, so I don't know what you mean. I have heard the term many times, but without definition.

Still looking for "Tea Party" mp3's to give them a listen...


Still looking for the link to the comments SW made which inspired the creation of this thread as well....

Well, you can hear 30 second samples of the tracks from this "collection" cd....it has most of their best pre-2001 tracks! However, the last 3 tunes are quite weak....unreleased tracks that were added to this collections.
Check out traks 5 & 6 first.
