Is there a VIP package for this tour?  I'm not seeing one at the official website...

Okay, so things are looking a lot more definite now. :D

Anyone seeing the following shows? Speak up, I hope to get to see a few DTFers in parts of the world I rarely, if ever, have visited!

Niagara Falls
Toronto
Montreal
Quebec City
Boston

Got a lot of planning to do, but already super psyched.

I can't wait to get you on my couch or floor again.

I am addicted to Earthrise right now. I think Affinity may be my favorite Haken album.  :metal

I finally got around to listening to Restoration and I am loving it. Earthlings is one of my favorite Haken songs now.  :tup

As I was working on things today, I noticed a change that I haven't seen advertised. The Niagara Falls show has been moved to Buffalo.

I noticed this because...

Most tickets are bought, and all hotels are booked, and Hakation is official, booya!

I'm really digging the use of polyrhythms on Affinity, particularly on Initiate and The Endless Knot. Plenty of unusually-placed drum rhythms through the other tracks on here as well. I'm just going to say it...Affinity is a stunning album!

Also, WHY IS AQUARIUS STILL UNAVAILABLE?!! The completist in me won't be satisfied until it is.

Ross mentioned in Facebook that they are dealing with some legal issues but that they are trying to make it available again.

Man, Affinity is almost a flawless album. Red Giant is the only weak spot I can find in there and even that is a song I don't dislike. AOTY by miles and to me Haken's best effort so far.

I do not know this "weak spot" of which you speak. Everything is a real gem on this one!

It's true. :lol We have very similar tastes at band-level, but not at song-level.

Great CD!

Earthrise -  As I inhale the hurricane I touch the void and feel no pain

Bound by Gravity  -  If we dictate the cause and face no consequences would our worlds still intertwine?

Awesome lyrics!

Initiate is becoming one of my favourite tracks on Affinity. The outro from 3:40 onwards just gives me goosebumps everytime.
The entire album is probably the best thing I've heard in the last few years tbh.

I also think Red Giant is one of the best tracks on the new album, along with Earthrise, The Architect and Bound by Gravity.

Initiate is really the only song I literally never listen to (along with the short intro track).

Hi, my name's Bill, and I've been having a hard time listening to anything that's not Restoration or The Mountain for about a week now. Going to grab the new album soon. Anybody else on the forum going to the NYC show?

I haven't had the chance to listen myself yet, but the guy that did a bunch of DT and Rush 8-bit covers a few years ago just did The Mountain.

Has anyone done the Meet & Greet with Haken yet? I have M&G tickets for tomorrow night in Chicago, and I don't really know if it happens before or after. The ticket has no other information other than the 7pm starting time.

Only a handful of the N. American dates have VIP/M&G options. Chances are your show does not.

So my friend and I got to the venue 90 minutes before the doors opened to general admission and we missed Haken's M&G and sound check, so if your show has that, get there sooner. I'm not terribly disappointed though. The show was still amazing and we still got in plenty early to get great spots right in front. The show was amazing, just as I expected. They even played Celestial Elixer, which I wasn't expecting at all. I was also able to catch them after the show to get a couple signings, so it all turned out all right in the end!

I'd be livid if I paid for this, received no information, tried to get there early and still missed it.
