OFF: Architectural Metaphor

[Rudich, Robert A]

Just saw Arc Met about 2 weeks ago; the guitar was more prominent than usual
and Greg was cooking with it.   They did a brand new never performed song
called "Lost Empire" that the initial guitar riff was very evocative of "Set
the Controls".   Songs averaged about 11 minutes long.   If the gig is any
indication of how the new CD will sound, it will be something to look for.
  They had an early Floydian tinge to all the songs.

The new CD is done and should be released shortly, the hitch is it is on an
Italian label and probably will have limited US availability.  The Arc Met
fan club hopes to do a mail order offering.  They have a version of "Golden
Void" on this one and "Creature", which when done live ends with "Welcome to
the Future".   The CD excludes an excellent song called "Perenderin" that
Paul made some pointed comments about the omission.   It is a great song and
I don't understand why it was left off - nicely drifty with tantalizing
percussion effects.
