Trying to imagine echoes

My history with the world of music and listening to music began when I was little.I like to think of my taste as being ever expanding and as open-ended and open-minded as I can be.And there are artists whose music seems almost more like religion to me, rather than just something made to listen to recreation-ally.Their music has stood the test of time for me; whether it be still music I listen to frequently to this day, or at least quite frequently for a good period of time within the last 7 years. And it holds a very strong sense of nostalgia and memory to me, that it's significant for my life.


And then came a thing called mars volta.


Singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez were pretty much The Mars Volta.They are the face of progressive rock now, and a new breed or style.Of course they don't sound like Dream Theater. But they were progressive somehow still. It was kind of chaotic and also energetic at the same time. The guitar lines were, and later a comparison to Led Zeppelin I saw, and the more I listened to them and their subsequent work, the more that comparison along with comparisons to Carlos Santana made a lot of sense!!!!
