    I think Berlin's vocals more than the lack of Holdsworth, but I agree.

    Am I the only one who actually enjoys the way Jeff Berlin sings? Gothic 17 is incredibly emotional,but I love singing along to all the vocals on GGT.

    I dont think his vocals are bad... just too straight ahead/nothing special

    and *why*? why not just forget vocals and make another instrumental album?
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    I saw the GGT Bruford Tour and really,really enjoyed it. The Unknown John Clark was phenomenal and Jeff Berlin was amazing. Can you imagine trying to sing The Sliding Floor and play bass? That takes 2 sep. brains.

    The whole of Feels Good to Me and the archival Missing Pieces album by National Health; it's great to hear him play actually through-composed material. With KC I think his drumming on "Fracture" is awesome, but he shines with particular light in improvisations with them. I also thought his work on Torn's Cloud About Mercury is one of the best things about that record.

    His band "Bruford" with Holdsworth and Berlin produced some of the stuff I like best by him. Oh, and HotS, of course...
