The Fusion Reactor #162 - All Sevens

[moses]

So seven is a popular prog time signature. Many of the songs on tonight's show may be in seven, but that's not what this show is about (but it may show up on a future Reactor sometime). This is about the number seven in general. Besides, I prefer 5/8 as my odd meter of choice.

Anthem Of The Seventh Day - Ajalon 4:25
Sevens - Govan, Guthrie 5:57
Seventh Crusade - Soniq Theater 5:03
The Seventh Dimension - Wakeman, Rick 4:29
Seven Moons - Atlantis1001 6:38
Lucky Seven - Squire, Chris 6:55
Seven Stones - Genesis 5:12
Seven by Seven - Hawkwind 8:53
The Seventh Sign - Section A 8:52
Seven Days - Mind's Eye 6:23
All Sevens - Wackerman, Chad 8:13
Seven Dead-Lies - Medeski Martin & Wood 10:56
One in Seven - Soulive 5:17
Seven Days - Metheny, Pat 4:05
System Seven - Fleck, Béla & the Flecktones 4:17
Spiral Seven - Jazz Mutants 7:52
Beyond the Seventh Galaxy - Return To Forever 3:15
Seven Sisters - McLaughlin, John 10:17

Rick will be upset that Iron Maiden aren't there.

Great list there Moses. Nice to see Hawkwind getting a play alongside the likes of RTF and Pat Metheny.

I've been playing Chris Squire's "Fish out of water" a lot lately too. Hope I can tune in.

Ya know, that's one of the few Iron Maiden songs I can actually name. The others would be Run To The Hills and Two Minutes To Midnight.

...

Yep, that's all I can think of.

I wouldn't be upset....maybe an IQ fan would be for not playing Seventh House.

Always like Seven Stones.

Neat tag moses "no flame wars"...like that a lot.

What if you did a show with each piece moving upwards in the meter number?
Of the top of my head...


Don Cab - Ones All Over the Place (in 1)
(lots of things in 2, 3, and 4)
Radiohead - Everything in It's Right Place (in 5)
(lost of things in 6)
Floyd - Money; Yes - Lightning Strikes (in 7) - many others
(Lots in 8)
Genesis - Supper's Ready (section in 9)
10?
Yes - Awaken (section in 11)
American Football - Never Meant (in 12)
King Crim - Starless (bass line in 13)
14?
15?
16?
Yes - Changes (opening and closing mostly in 17)
18? Etc.....


It's an idea.

Now that looks like a fun page to check out even if I don't go with this idea!

Yes, I have an odd idea of "fun" don't I?

oh what a damn cool page! thanks for the link!

Sweet link RNR. Danke.

Chad Wackerman - nice
good to see some Soulive as well

Soulive is (in my opinion) in the same category as Medeski Martin & Wood: used to be amazingly great, but times have changed.
