From those avant-gardians at Gallery 1412:

Citing such wide-ranging influences as György Ligeti, Meshuggah, Beck, Ben Monder and even Toto, Speak has crafted a truly distinct sound. Although the song "Rosanna" is not part of Speak's usual repertoire, any audience member can rest assured knowing that Speak will meet them all the way.

Toto ... wow, they're making the list of avant-prog influences now in PR.

This reminds me of that great chapter on Chicago's early 90s "missing art rock album" Dan LeRoy writes pretty respectfully about in his "Greatest Music Never Sold" book (sadly overlooked when it came out a couple years back).

Not that I didn't think LeRoy was sort of scamming us or something -- especially with his closeness to the Beasties ("Cowboy Mike," etc.).
