an_cat Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 ^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!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Which CDs were The Iron Sea and Let It Slide on??:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Let It Slide was on the Is it Any Wonder single. Not sure about The Iron Sea, dont think i've heard that :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_steph Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 :confused: Random! It must be a b-side or something that got mixed in somehow. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 :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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 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". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
