Mannequin Virtue, Please Stand By, Simple
Experience, +bonusspor
Steve Griffith and Jimmy Abegg grew up listening
to progressive rock, and it shows. Although
Vector is generally considered modern alternative
rock, the Rush like rhythm section and Peter
Gabriel like vocal style make them a candidate
for this list. Mannequin Virtue stood apart
from the new wave pack in the early 80's
with its solid, odd-time rhythms and interesting
lyrics. Please Stand By, while overproduced
and slick, nearly broke out with a hit song
in the early 80's. It's the most listenable,
while being probably the least progressive
of their albums. Simple Experience really
sounds like Peter Gabriel in places, and
is a worthy purchase as well.
[ The last one, Temptation, is a good place
to start, a fairly frenetic sonically with
lots of interesting guitar textures and strong
lyrics about Christ. Progressive elements are
readily apparent, at least in the experimental
nature of the music. Also look for Jimmy A's
solo albums, Entertaining Angels and Secrets,
which are both very creative guitar based Christian
albums.]
