August 25, 200619 yr Nope, Keane doesn't have any guitar used at all. Tim Rice-Oxley, their keyboardist, is a genius. So he manipulates the sound on his keyboards with all sorts of effects (if you have any of their DVDs, like the one that came with the recent album) he shows how he did this :) Really, really cool! They do use bass, though. Tim also plays this, in fact when they were getting started this is the instrument he played (they also had a guitar player a long time ago, who left the band because they were never getting a record contract or anything). So Tim plays the bass. I think live they use a backing track, since it's probably physically impossible for the three of them to play bass at the same time :laugh4: Then again, Tim could also be "playing" bass on his keyboards. It's amazing what he does, he's awesome!
August 25, 200619 yr ^They don't have a guitarist or a bassist. The guitar sound is merely a sort of distorted sound from a keyboard that sounds like a guitar, played by Tim. :) (well as far as I know!)
August 25, 200619 yr Im always too late! :lol: Ignore me! :embarassed: :laugh4: Ha ha...it's fine. Thanks for all of your answer.:D :D :D

August 26, 200619 yr Let It Slide was on the Is it Any Wonder single. Not sure about The Iron Sea, dont think i've heard that :confused:
August 26, 200619 yr Let It Slide was on the Is it Any Wonder single. Not sure about The Iron Sea, dont think i've heard that :confused: It was uploaded by someone on here, and was listed as track eight between "Put It All Behind You" and "Crystal Ball".:confused:
August 26, 200619 yr :confused: Random! It must be a b-side or something that got mixed in somehow. Is it any good?
August 26, 200619 yr :confused: Random! It must be a b-side or something that got mixed in somehow. Is it any good? It's OK - I think I've solved it. It appears to be that instrumental piece between the two tracks. On the official album it isn't listed as a track, but the person who uploaded it on here listed it as "The Iron Sea". Does anyone know if this is its official name?? Anyway, as I've said previously, I love the whole album, but there are two tracks which I think are real masterpieces - "A Bad Dream" and "Try Again". I can't get enough of either of them. They are both incredibly atmospheric.:D
August 26, 200619 yr Mark, here is a special album which includes "The Iron Sea" on it... ;) http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000FG82HM/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/303-2560297-4057059?ie=UTF8 My favourite songs so far are "Is It Any Wonder?", "Crystal Ball" and "The Frog Prince". :)

August 26, 200619 yr Couldn't agree more. Although i'd add a third....Hamburg Song :nice: True. In fact I think tracks 5, 6 and 7 are a great sequence. Whoever decided this got it spot on.:D
