it's too bad I don't live in Germany, or anywhere near Europe

That is so fucking epic.

BUT I CAN'T BE THERE

I'll be on tour in Italy singing Bach in a choir by then, which will probably be the most fun thing I'll do this year. But missing this is just...

I'm seriously considering selling my Night of the Prog ticket just so I can go to this. Money doesn't allow me to do both, plus I wouldn't get the time off so close to the Night of the Prog weekend anyway.

Onno · « **Reply #318 on:** May 08, 2015, 07:37:17 AM »

I'd rather go to that show than to Night of the Prog. Of course, it all comes down to personal taste, but Dream Theater, Haken and Devin Townsend are all in my top 10 artists/bands (Devin even occupies #1)...

I hate Germany.

LOL I feel your pain. Besides Rush in Atlanta, the only other bands I want to see are no where near Tennessee. My wife is from England and I told her if and when I retire, I want to go over there in the summer time and hit the festivals.

Yeah, probably going to put my Night of the Prog ticket on sale tomorrow. Anybody have any suggestions for good sites where I can get good value for concert tickets?

Surprised not to see it mentioned here, but Symphonic Theater of Dreams (the guys who did the DT symphonic covers!) have just launched their PledgeMusic campaign to fund their new album "A Symphonic Tribute to HAKEN". You can go pledge here. I'm ordering the A2 poster with artwork - my flat looks so depressing with the bare walls

So much this.

There is also a "Jewel box in slipcase" for 50€(!). What exactly does jewel box mean?

So when is Haken's 4th album coming out? I'm behind.

Nick · « **Reply #331 on:** June 03, 2015, 02:20:57 PM »

They have been working on it, likely later this year or Q1 of 2016 I reckon.

A jewel box is the standard plastic cd case.

And I just listened to Haken's discography on a road trip. How are they so good?

THey posted this on their FB page:

"This Thursday, we will be sharing the stage with two bands who, for many years, have had a pretty major impact on us as individual musicians and on Haken as a band. The Devin Townsend Project and everything else that Mr. Townsend creates is crazy, wonderful and hilarious. Dream Theater, simply put, produced a blueprint for progressive metal and have been slamming it down all over the world for 30 years! And now we get to open for them and then enjoy their mind-blowing sets afterwards! It's gonna be a pretty good day

Classic Rocknacht, Bonn, Germany - This Thursday 9th July

We're on at 6pm. Don't be late!!!!"

isn't that beautiful? "Dream Theater, simply put,produced a blueprint for progressive metal and have been slamming it down all over the world for 30 years!"

I envy you Germans for this concert (but not for you debtors

)

It's basically everything your average DTFer would want in a concert.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #340 on:** July 07, 2015, 11:24:22 AM »

That is one hell of a lineup.

Yeah, indeed. But in the middle of the week, it's simply too far away from my place...

Flacracker · « **Reply #342 on:** July 07, 2015, 01:27:11 PM »

Germany gets to see Haken AND Dream Theater? That just isn't fair dammit. DT doesn't even come to Florida anymore it seems. I would kill to attend that concert.

nightmare_cinema · « **Reply #343 on:** July 11, 2015, 04:14:46 AM »

I'm trying to get into these guys ahead of seeing them at a festival coming up (yeah, with DT and Anathema and Riverside and the Pineapple Thief... shoot me

), been listening to The Mountain and it's not really doing much for me so far other than Atlas Stone which is pretty awesome. Times like this I really hate myself for how hard I find it to listen to new music and give it a good shot, I've heard so many good things about Haken from practically everyone I know who has similar tastes to me so giving it my best shot...

Zydar · « **Reply #344 on:** July 11, 2015, 04:26:29 AM »

Keep at it, and hopefully they will click for you.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #345 on:** July 11, 2015, 04:30:39 AM »

I suggest you give Visions and Aquarius a chance before you scrub them of, atleast Visions imo.

This video was the one that caught my interest in Haken, never heard about Haken before so I was intrigued by it.

What type of music do you like? The sound of Haken really changed a lot from album to album. My favorite is Visions, and I think you will like that album if you are into Awake-like stuff, to give a DT comparison.

What exactly did you like about Atlas Stone?

nightmare_cinema · « **Reply #347 on:** July 12, 2015, 10:08:25 AM »

Interesting question as to what I liked about Atlas Stone, upon further listening it's more Falling Back to Earth I'm liking, Atlas Stone has a beautiful intro (reminds me so strongly of Everything by Anathema) but the instrumental section about 2:30 onward is what made it stand out for me, Falling Back to Earth is the standout track atm though I reckon. I am really digging the heavy Meshuggah-esue guitars. TBH I'm just rambling outta my ass cos I barely know the record yet after a few listens through!

As for what kinda music I normally listen to, broad question. Awake is a great album but not one of my favourite DT records. I'm gonna give their other albums a spin.

BlackInk · « **Reply #348 on:** July 12, 2015, 10:17:00 AM »

My personal favorites are Aquarius and the Restoration EP, but Visions is easier to get into for someone new I'd say. I've heard people call Visions "the best Dream Theater album in many years". I agree that it's pretty similar to DT sometimes, so that would be something more familiar. The other albums have unique sounds though.

nightmare_cinema · « **Reply #349 on:** July 12, 2015, 10:21:24 AM »

Listening to Visions now. From the first track I already like it better than the bits I've heard from the other albums.
