It's a classic canonized album but what bands, genres, etc actually can claim to be influenced by it? Is it one of those things that's influence is so big that all you have to do to is look around to see it, or was it not nearly as influential as it was just good? I hear vestiges from the album in some dream pop and the less noisy shoegazing, but is that it?

If you can't afford to "live in the studio", you can't afford to be influenced by DSM.

Wow, "Run Baby Run" is a really good call. Also, my beloved Bridge of Sighs is pretty Moon-damaged in places, for a blues-rock album.

Influence: a category error?

the pernicious and silly term "influence"
Yes as well as at least half of <i>The Mollusk</i>. I always thought the solo in "Polka Dot Tail" was sonically similar to the one in "Time." (and the guitar effect is pretty much the same)

Really? Which bits in particular? Not bein sarky, i'm sure you're correct.
― pisces, Friday, 31 August 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)
It's less about bits than planning a multi-facted album that addresses the "common man" with soulful extravagance, sound effects, big band playing and minimal electronics. Plus, they both have clocks as major sonic touch-point.
