Hi there,
I don't know if this falls into the category of prog/art rock but what the heck..
A friend of mine relayed to me a link to a MySpace music page with one track, no picture and absolutely no indication as to whom the artist is.
Although the song is called "Simple", when you listen to it, you realize it's anything but..
The lyrics are clever, the guitar playing is sublime, added effects are minimalist but impeccable, and the vocals are great.
I can't figure out who this artist is, but I think it's such a great song and thought I'd share it here.
Here's the link: www.myspace.com/simplewhoisit
Enjoy!

Re: SIMPLE???? Some new, as of yet unidentified music..
Sun, July 15, 2007 - 9:10 PMI don't know who it is, but it's *very* good, and damn if it doesn't sound familiar (I don't know if it's the voice or the chord progressions or what).
I'll be curious to see what, if anything, comes of this. -

Tue, August 7, 2007 - 2:49 AMHi Erika,
Glad you like the song!
"Simple" is a track off of a CD called "Miracles For Beginners", the latest release by Nick Harper, an extraordinary guitarist/singer/songwriter from the UK, who also happens to be the son of Roy Harper.
Check out his stuff:

www.myspace.com/harperspace
He is lauded as one of Britain's finest guitarists, etc. (and probably is).
Best,
Marcie

Thu, August 9, 2007 - 1:57 AMGreat, Enrika! I hope you enjoy the ride. :-)
I urge all to check Nick out, especially those based in the UK. He tours a lot in the UK - currently doing some gigs in Scotland, and will be back on road in November. -

NICK HARPER
Tue, September 18, 2007 - 6:12 AMAnyone have a chance to check out the incredible Nick (son of Roy) Harper? He truly is a hidden musical treasure and deserves a lot more recognition than he has now.
For those on this list who reside in the UK, Nick is touring the UK in November, after he returns from an incredible trek up to base camp in Mount Everest to participate in a special gig for the Love Hope Strength foundation, as well as an additional gig in Kathmandu.
Read more about this amazing trek here: www.lovehopestrength.com/everest/
Once again, here are his relevant websites:

Enjoy the journey that is the discovery of his extraordinary music!
