Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

End Credits really seems like the most fitting, that's the only one I could see being a possibility without being a bit silly.

I also like "Illuminated".

Do you guys want to do a poll and try and get an unofficially official name for it or just let it go?

Illumination Fact.
That implies that Illumination Theory isn't a scientific theory to begin with. :biggrin:

I think I was the first one (in another thread a while back) to suggest End Credits, so credit better be coming my way. :lol :biggrin:

I figured 'Easter Egg' is as unofficially official as we're gonna get because we clearly saw Easter Egg written on the chart tables during the making of DT12 vids. We could try and unofficially decide a more permanent name if a majority of people don't prefer the current name, because in all fairness Easter Egg is a bit generalised in a band that has many bits and pieces hidden in their music that could just as easily be considered easter eggs.

True Awakening (Ending Credits)

I'm new here so what do I know, but I think this works.  Or it could also be "True Awakening (End Credits)".

You were - I've had it tattooed on the back of my mind as "Kev's great name" ever since you suggested it. It's spot on, I keep meaning to index it separately with that title.  One day!

Nef doesn't know that you can press STOP when Illumination Theory ends.

Am I the only one who just considers it the end of Illumination Theory? I mean, it doesn't really stand as its own thing, does it? Does anyone listen to just that? And when I listen to IT I typically leave it on through the silence as a 22 minute piece, considering this part to be the end of the song.

I doubt many listen to it on its own given that it's a short and simple piece, and requires skipping almost 20 minutes of song to even get to, but it is an entirely separate composition. It's the classic hidden track after some silence routine, and according to DT's song chart while writing/recording DT12, is its own entity, not part of IT itself.

I do, that's why I like to call it "Denouement" which means "the final resolution of the intricacies of a plot, as of a drama or novel" and is synonymous with "conclusion" and "end".

Not to mention - when they were writing the End Credits, Illumination Theory was going to be track two! They didn't pop it to the end of the album until after they'd left the studio. It would've sat on the end of a completely different song, I'd guess The Bigger Picture.

Was it actually going to be track 2, or just listed that way on their studio chart? It might not have meant anything. There's no way an epic like that could be 2nd on an album. There's a reason they always stick them near or at the end, because that's where the epic works.
