How did the trumpeters learn to play?

[Elite]

in a dystopian society that's devoid of music?

(A Saviour in the Square - and probably some other songs)

They come from The NOMACS.

Ive wondered this myself

[The Walrus]

If you level up enough, even logic can be defeated.

[Adami]

Trumpets don't create music. Trumpets make annoying noise. Therefore they were legal.

While we're at it, how did all the characters learn to sing? Were Disney movies the only thing that weren't outlawed?

From watching/listening to Gabriel I assume

[Evai]

Okay... Then why does everyone have an awesome 5 piece backing band behind them at all times? And why does everyone singing sound like James Labrie from Dream Theater?

[The Walrus]

Those questions will be answered in The Astonishing 2: Sing, Sang, Sung and The Astonishing 3: Return To Heaven's Cove.

People figured out that the white thing that comes out of cows' titties could be drunk, and the relation between sweet desires and women's bellies growing up for 9 months. It can't be THAT hard to figure out how a trumpet works.

Yes, but why does a Gabriel sing a song about losing his voice immediately after losing it? And how does Daryus understands he is forgiven by his mother if he is deaf? And where's my pizza I ordered two hours ago?

He sings it all low, that's all he could actually do.

And how does Daryus understands he is forgiven by his mother if he is deaf?

Patting on the shoulder and warm smile.

And where's my pizza I ordered two hours ago?

Lost. Call back the restaurant.

This is now my signature.

[El Barto]

If trumpet playing is innate knowledge, why aren't we all Wynton Marsalis?

And I had no idea Daryus was deaf. Learning that makes everything exactly the same.

Supposedly he became deaf after Gabriel's scream on My Last Farewell

Quick question, Dystopian Overture, 0:45 - this is a pretty nice guitar melody, does it return in other parts of the album? If so, where?

[erwinrafael]

That's the vocal.melody of X Aspect.

[Evai]

"Evangeline! I swore to you! To love and guide our son"

I always hear the words in my head when I listen to the overtures

[Dave_Manchester]

A bigger mystery for me is why does Nefarious have such a downer on music yet sings his way through the whole thing?

He didn't sing the whole thing though he does some spoken word stuff, some laughing (HA HA HA) and also some crying (boo hoo hoo)

This one is brilliant.

Thanks! I haven't put on TA for ages, but listening to the overture made me realize that there are plenty of great melodies scattered around, and maybe there's a good album buried somewhere underneath all the boring stuff after all. If only it were half as long, and a tad heavier. Oh, well.

only he is allowed to sing
