    I've loved this band since VC's first full length album. Each subsequent release under their new name gets better and better. I hope the band is rewarded with a level of success they set out to achieve, and honestly deserve, because this is a seriously talented group of individuals. Their beat timing, mood shifts, and overall music style is so unique and refreshing. I think they are one of the best bands going over the last 5 years or so.

      When I saw Preoccupations in London last year I was in the smoking area by the entrance, smoking before the gig and all over a sudden this guy with long blonde hair walked past me pointing at me and shouting "Sick shirt dude!" took me a few seconds to realise it was the drummer from the band complimenting me on my 'This Heat-Deceit' shirt I wore. Easily their biggest hidden influence on the band though. Ended up meeting the whole band afterwards and getting my albums signed which was cool. So that's my awesome story about the band, your comment reminded me of this moment.

      @@mugenjump Well yh, I mean hidden in the way that not that many ppl know who This Heat are, so they can get away with it ppl thinking they came up with the things that are copying This Heat. March of Progress has loads of dif This Heat moments in it, yes. I'm actually seeing This Heat tomorrow. final ever London show, 2 hour 45 minutes long, it is, should be special. Just about to phone the venue now to ask about when the doors open and things.

      Thus the live recording of Dark Entries on the Cassette album. While very few could truly emulate Peter Murphy's voice (David Bowie perhaps), the band nailed the rest of it, and doing it live. Love it, and maybe it's this similarity in sound that keeps me so interested in Preoccupations music. It's got a Bauhaus vibe, but yet is still very different and refreshing, as I mentioned in my previous comments on this killer video.

    • @Xkid902
      @Xkid902 6 лет назад +4

      I can understand your frustration but it's a different environment to sing in when there's so much sound topping the vocals than with a studio session with a close up isolated microphone makes it sound easy and crisper.

    • @mountaverage2706
      @mountaverage2706 6 лет назад +4

      But that's not what I mean. I mean specifically his vocal style. He accentuates completely different, he screams, he swallows many words, and so on. I neither expect him to sound like on the albums nor do I wish for that. I want him to sound "live" and raw, as opposed to the albums. I just wish he wouldn't completely throw the original vocal performance out the window and thereby also changing the feel of the songs quite a lot. It's most evident in live performances of "Continental Shelf". This song has very sensitive vocals (albeit loud and aggressive at times) and they carry the song in a specific way. Live he just screams almost monotonously, depriving the song of its emotional harmonies. Just my two cents of course.
