'Still Life' is the name of an early 70s UK prog rock band; they released one album (self-titled) on the famous (in prog circles, anyway) Vertigo label in the early 70s. It's a good spin actually; the cover art reminds me a little of Orchid. Oh yeah, and I can't remember what song, but one of...

"I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel..."

Did anyone ever actually figure out what song(s) are playing (reversed) in the intro to Demon of the Fall? I remember there's two different things coming from each speaker, but I don't think anyone actually figured out what was what. From memory, one channel sounds like old Swedish death metal...

Actually, I was going to say the same thing. Has a kind of 'Dark Matter' or 'A Smart Kid' vibe to it in parts. Also love the vintage mellotron sound. Speaking of which, do any of you guys know if Per uses an actual mellotron, or a VST or something? I'm assuming it's the latter, but I wasn't...

That describes it exactly; nice call man.

Agreed. In fact, with almost all good prog, you can sense the 'feel' that the musicians have. You need that instinct to be able to venture outside of normal parameters but still have the song make sense (or even NOT make sense, but in the right kind of way). I don't think they're unique in that...

These lyrics are from the code in the special edition of Watershed. They're all on the first line (though backwards, so you could say they're on the last line). Yeah, excellent lyrics in my opinion.

Well, now you know why I haven't posted it; I don't want Mike eating my fucking eyes! Hahaha. As for some of the other posters on here: c'mon, lighten up guys. I just think enjoy the enigma while you can; you all know someone else will solve it soon and post it. I just appreciate mystery too...

Since I believe literally everything I read, I'll take it as gospel from an anonymous person over the internet that you won't re-post the answer. Expect the answer in your pm box soon.

You can think what you want, but like I said in the other thread, the symbol representing 'i' is the same one that represents 'p'. When someone else finally cracks this, you can confirm that, which also serves as proof that I have deciphered it (you can't get that far into the cipher without...

Yeah, it's a fantastic song. Check out the original as well, both are brilliant. I'm guessing Mikael would have been all over that solo, haha.

It's more than trial and error.

Hahaha! Awesome quote.

Well, there are two quotes from that story that - if followed to the letter - would have helped me (with a little lateral thinking) solve the code a lot sooner. Unfortunately I went down a couple of blind alleys before realising what was going on. So, yes, it is a simple explanation of the...

"E is the fifth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled e (pronounced /iː/), plural es or ees (also written E's, Es, e's, etc.)." (from wikipedia). Believe it or not, if you can't make it past all the "massa"s and "Jup"s in the Gold Bug, that quote is the beginning...
