The Ocean Official Thread
« on: February 07, 2017, 02:47:41 PM »
So I've checked and there doesn't seem to be a thread for these guys??

I'm really digging them lately and also it seems they may have a new album coming out this year or early next:

Yep, Pelagial is great. I've checked out Heliocentric and that was also great. Think I'll listen to their other albums over the next 24 hours and find out what else is great  :metal

Parama, have you listened to the pre-Precambrian albums and are they worth a pop?

The pre-Precambrian stuff is more like disc 1 than 2, but they still get experimental. Fluxion is one of my favourites along with Pelagial.

Same for me, but for pre-Heliocentric albums. Maybe in the future I will try again to listen to Precambrian.

Pelagial was my first exposure to them, and I loved it.  It sounds amazing.  I have Anthropocentric and Heliocentric as well, and those are solid as well.  Need to listen to those records more often, actually.  Haven't gone back to check out anything from Precambrian and back.

So apparently they have repressed Pelagial

I'm very, very tempted by this. I need to boost the vinyl collection and what better place to start?

Don't think they have announced a date for the new album yet but really hoping it'll make it this year.

That's a Pelagial outtake coming out on a label compilation. It's pretty great.

Talking of The Ocean, what are your opinions on Fluxion? Do you prefer the original recording or the re-released version?

A new song from their best album isn't exciting?!

I've only heard the re-release. It's fantastic imo. I like it far more than Aeolian.

Somewhere between Precambrian and Heliocentric, both conceptually and musically.

Eventually, yes. But the one that has been recorded is just part 1.

Judging from the title it'll be the final track of Phanerozoic I. Already sort of got that idea from the end of the song being intentionally mixed to the point of clipping :P

The more I hear from this band the more I'm convinced that Pelagial was a massive fluke. :-\

Sounds really good, Loïc's clean vocals in particular are just amazing. I'm definitely missing the production of Pelagial, though.

How exactly did you come to this conclusion?

Pelagial's the first album I heard from them and I instantly loved it. To this day it might be my favorite concept album. The concept is great and they executed it super well - the music is varied, has a lot of emotion, and the flow and pacing of the entire record is fantastic. I love how it gets progressively darker as the record goes on (the sudden turn the album takes right before Signals of Anxiety starts still gives me chills), and the ending is super satisfying not only because it's fittingly the heaviest and darkest song on the album, but the entire record was building up to it the entire time.

Anyways, with how much I loved that record, I've tried checking their other stuff out several times and each time I've been really disappointed. Neither part of Precambrian did anything for me, and Heliocentric just felt like a bunch of dry, sterile, mid-tempo nothingness. I'm still going to check out the new record when it comes out, but this song just sounded like more Heliocentric to me. If it's actually supposed to be about the Permian-Triassic extinction event, basically the most apocalyptic event in the history of the planet so far, why does it sound so reserved? What happened to the earth-shattering emotion and heaviness of the last two songs on Pelagial? *Those* songs sound like the entire fucking world is ending. Wouldn't that have been so fitting for a concept like this? The intentional clipping during the end is neat, but it's not enough, and Devise by David Maxim Micic did the same thing but a billion times better. I don't know, maybe I need to give the rest of their discography more of a chance, but compared to my first experience with the band it just feels so lackluster.
