DT constantly remind me of other music, even actual songs or specific melodies, guitar solos etc. I love DT, don't shoot me, but to be really honest they are not the most original of bands.
What bands are?..
Btw, if you're gonna take the expression literal, like "original music= melodies/harmonies no other human being has ever known, played or recorded", then I think there's no such thing as "original music" or "original bands"..
But anyway, to bring "The Astonishing" to this thread, the rhythmics part of My Last Farewell's verses (1:03 and then again at 3:21) are not THE SAME as in Surrender to Reason at 1:36?!....
They're just the same, lol..
I recently discovered another one ... but maybe it's been mentioned here somewhere:
Does the part at 5:55 in Endless Sacrifice remind anyone else of King Crimson's Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part 2?
Idk what section of LTiA pt2 are you referring to..
