Battle Theme Medley 1 - Tales of Festival 2020 (Motoi Sakuraba)

[@DarkDruid7]

Sakuraba-san took a lot of inspiration from the 1970's prog supergroup called U.K. In the group, they had a keyboardist who doubled as a violinist, a guitarist, a bassist/singer, and a drummer. The musical similarities between U.K. and Sakuraba are strikingly similar. Seeing the inclusion of the violinist in this concert made me think of this supergroup that much more.

Thanks for pointing this out, i love the few UK songs ik but ill have to take a deeper dive into an album or two! Love getting into what your fav musicians learned from

[@DesertRainReads]

I think he might have been influenced by Jean-Luc Ponty's work as well, there are similarities between the two without a shadow of a doubt. Love them both though.

Bare Its Fangs is one of my favourites, and End of a Thought is one of those songs that stick with me. Plus, Mysterious Arms Soma is TIGHT.
