I uploaded a video of mine + a friends footage of cockroach king from the gig at Bonn,

Sorry for the quality Audio/Videophiles but it gets slightly better at 1:30 when I took my friends footage  :smiley:

Nice, and it's the first time I've heard Fade To Black with keyboards.


I wonder how it must feel for MP to play DT songs now that he's not in the band anymore.

Not only that - they have not yet been jaded by the recognition and fame, so when they hang with fans it's a legitimate wanting to speak to people and hang out with them...does not at all have a vibe of obligation or going through the motions of them doing their job.

Haken have at last overtaked DT in my rankings, It took a while of then both being tied 1st but haken have now edged at as I just listen to crystallised every day now!   

The part at 9:15 and the bass at 13:50 are incredible!

Yeah, I like The Mountain and Aquarius more than most anything DT have done. It's odd, because there is obvious DT influence, but they just do it better for me.

They were awesome at NotP! Especially Insomnia (dat instrumental section <3) and Cockroach King (which I had heard before, but it still slayed). I was in the second row and I could really see how much fun they were having. Awesome!

Saw these guys play at a festival last weekend, as I've mentioned I reallllllly couldn't get into them on CD, was listening to The Mountain tonnes and it was doing nothing for me. Anyway I saw them, and holy crap they were incredible live, they were amazing to watch, so engaging, every minute felt different, great performers and really interesting to listen to. Came back from the festival and been listening to and loving The Mountain ever since, it's weird, it's like I've been given a different set of ears with which to listen to them and I can't understand how it didn't make any sense before.

So many of my friends are laughing and saying they told me so, as they've been recommending that album for the past year.

So yeah, count me as a fan... I'm in that delicious stage where it's all I'm listening to, but a certain few songs are grabbing me so hard it's hard to move onto any others, then I do, and they blow my mind just as much if not more. So glad to have found a new awesome band.

At first I think it was Cockroach King and Falling Back to Earth, then I found the beauty of In Memoriam and was stuck on that for a few days, and then I heard Pareidolia and was absolutely blown away. So, so many cool parts of all of those songs. At times through the album I've heard bits that sound similar to Pain of Salvation, Muse, and a part that's almost a carbon copy of a part from The Count of Tuscany. I'm really enjoying getting to know it, tasting all of these flavours as they slowly appear.

Pareidolia is probably my favorite of the album too. Though Falling Back to Earth is a strong challanger.

My favorite hops around as well.   Currently I just can't stop listening to the 1-2 punch of In Memoriam and Because It's There.

:tup It's nice to see someone else who like Because It's There. I rarely see it mentionned, but I think it might be my favorite Haken song.

Just reading this I'm remembering again how great an album The Mountain is. In Memoriam–Because it's There is an excellent combo. Pareidolia is my favorite, though.

Is there a reason why a CD version of Restoration was not released around the same time as the digital version?  It almost feels like they separated the digital and physical releases in such a way to get fans to buy twice and make a little bit more money.  Nothing wrong with that -- it's business.  But still...

Ah great. I was trying to hunt down an LP, get the CD, and re-sell the LP without the CD just to get a physical copy of the album. Glad I procrastinated doing that..

I've only heard them twice. They didn't do much for me and I never got around to listening to them again. Not to say that they're not good, or whatever, but that's my story.

Maybe they didn't feel it would be economically feasible to produce a CD with three songs?

But given the great reception it's received, they have now decided to do so?

I don't know, just spitballin'.

Awesome! I'll definitely pick that up. I love the EP, but buying the vinyl makes no sense for me, and I'm not a fan of digital-only, so it's really cool they're finally releasing it on CD!

Fairly sure it was the label's idea rather than the band's. But yeah, no doubt it was for business reasons. Pretty annoying.

In the game industry, it has become common to release games on consoles first (with the technical limitations that the console imposes) and to withhold the PC version for a few months, hoping that gamers end up buying both versions eventually.

Let's hope that the music industry doesn't "learn" from this.
