A Very Interesting CD That I Found Opeth On..... (Regarding Their Airplay)

[Master_Debater]

So I'm at this radio station that I'm working at, KAOS 89.3, a small non-profit, awesome college radio station. I actually played a 40 minute show (which was, nerve-racking as hell).

To keep it short, I was going through their library, and I came across a very interesting CD. It was a KOCH Radio CD Sampler, which had various tracks from their label. Among them was Opeth, of course, but I found it interesting that of all the bands on the list, they were the only ones with radio edits. The Tracks were Patterns in the Ivy 2, and Deliverance. Deliverance was the one edited.

Now, considering that they would send this kind of CD to a small college station leads me to believe Koch is pushing to have Opeth played more... Seattle is the 14th largest market, what do you guys think of this?

I wish I could get a picture of that CD, it's very interesting....

Here's what I played, by the way...
1. Anathema- Serenades- Where Shadows Dance 1:54
2. Amorphis- The Karelian Isthmus- Grail's Mysteries 3:02
3. Ajattara- Itse- Tulessa 3:06
4. Borknagar- The Archaic Course- Ad Noctum 4:22
5. Tiamat- Wildhoney- The Ar 5:04
6. Moonspell- Wolfheart- Alma Mater 5:37
7. Amorpis- Tales From the Thousand Lakes- In the Beginning
8. Katatonia- Brave Murder Day- Endtime 6:45

I played Katatonia instead of Opeth. Sue me.

I'd like to hear that radio edit of Deliverance. Do you think you can rip it?

 

[Master_Debater]

Dunno... I can certainly get a copy of the CD, though....

By the way, my show is actually going on air in one hour!

http://www.kaosradio.org/ listen online. (I was SO fucking nervous, though)

yea, the edit would be very interesting...

 

[RjBeals]

The edit is just a much shorter version, like only 4.5 minutes. The ending off time muted riff only plays though like twice instead of 7 or 8 times. I heard it on our digital cabels music chanel "Metal".. I was shocked of course and turned it up!

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

and what other parts are left out? i can't think of any other part than the closing riff that could be left out..

 

[Lord_AgathoN]

yeah plz bring it online......would be so cool to hear it finaly

 

[Protected Witness]

Why do people think the outro to Deliverance is "off-time?"

 

[Hulk Hogan]

I have no idea?

 

[mot-]

People suck. The outro rocks.

probably because of the symbols lopez plays... its wierd how he does it. Just feels like the song gets off somewhere, but obviously it doesnt.

 

[Master_Debater]

I'll try my best to get a copy

Yeah, but they are steady 8th notes, just alternated between cymbals.

 

[Master_Debater]

So I found the CD it's on, it's called "Loud Music for Loud People," and it's a sampler released by Koch. It's totally geared towards getting Opeth on more stations, it seems, I haven't got a copy of it yet, though....

 

[blakmetalemp]

Sounds like Opeth is gettin the same deal as Yes when they play Roundabout on the radio. Lots of stations cut long songs short because it tends to bore people I guess. In a gotta divada anyone?

 

[bonzer]

I fucking love the alternated cymbals part

Im trying to learn that bit. Not particularly easy in the slightest.

 

[estimate]

It's standard 8/8. Goddamnit. It's not even hard to play.

 

[osse87]

I think the drums on Benighted is pretty easy.

 

[Mayh]

Loud Music For Loud People... I can understand that they put Deliverance on that but Patterns in the Ivy II hardly qualifies as loud in my book. Idiots...
