But one important element of this contest, for me, is trying to imagine a couple of albums of new material from each group.
When you think of
Aroma of Man consider the creative wellspring that is Nick Cave, and add Josh Homme to provide as much creative spark as is required for any band. Ginger Baker would certainly have something to say about the direction of things, but SRV will be happy with whatever everyone else says, so long as he gets to occassionaly wail, and Lemmy, well, he can just stay stoned in the corner (although perhaps I'm selling him a tad short here - I mean you have to be some kind of genius to come up with the lyric "Killed by Death" don't you?).
So the
Aroma isn't top heavy with creative writing talent. But for sure the guys in charge absolutely have a pedigree in voluminous amounts of quality product, often collabaratively.
As Nick Cave himself said when asked "Do you you have s theory as to why you've managed to stay so strong creatively?" replied
"Um. I think I have really good people around me. Y'know, fundamentally I'm a collaborator with music and I recognise my limitations. I allow other people the freedom to kick into a song to make it the thing that it is.".
Imagine how he would work with this lot? When you think of
Aroma of Man's own original output think Queens-of-the-Grinder-Creamy-Seed-Heads. Or something.
