Gonna print out and learn on marimba hehe

 

[DHG]

Hahaha, be sure to let us hear that!

 

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Hahaha, be sure to let us hear that!

If I ever get it down. Might have to split the part with another person >.>

 

[Allfader]

Oh yeah, those imperfections. All and all I liked it. The sound quality isn't bad. Those are mostly engineering mistakes...

Maybe this was already posted, for the ones who don't know:

Tore said on an interview something about that on http://www.antenna.nu/?p=417:


[Void] There’s a rumour going that something went wrong with the mastering of Sideshow Symphony that Season Of Mist got the wrong version and made their own version which is fucked up.


[Tore] Nothing went wrong. I did the mastering myself, and it sounds great, but the day after that, Season Of Mist told the studio that they wanted an un-mastered version of the album, which they got. And they did their own mastering and fucked it up.

[Hugh] No, no, no. It was a data transfer error that led to the differences in things.

[Tore] No, I did the fade out on "Daemon Painter" myself…

[Hugh] And it’s not there? There’s a lot of talking going around [laughs]. Anyway; things have been fucked up.

[Lolk] Maybe it’s not official?

[Tore] This is official. Season Of Mist fucked up [laughs].

[Hugh] I know for a fact that we are getting on with a remixing and remastering of the album. We feel that it would be worth it.

[Void] An entirely new version or just a remaster?

[Tore] It’s going to be a least a remastered version.

[Hugh] Yeah.

[Tore] I hate it when our artistic freedom is violated by a record company because they have different opinions.




If this is true, I want the final cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Devourer]

Allfader, they said it a looong time ago.. I doubt they will still release it.

 

[SiMuLaCrUm]

What kind of guitar does Knut Valle play? Looks a lot like a MusicMan Silhouette, but I know it isn't...

 

[Ozzloaf]

Man, it'd be awesome to get a remastered one... I really hope Arcturus reunites some day.

 

[DHG]

Anyone knows what gear uses SS?

 

[Allfader]

@Devourer: I know that is pretty old, but I posted it anyway for the ones who didn't read it before.

Handmade guitars (both of them, including the guitar used on Shipwrecked in Oslo). There's one of the Skoll's basses too.

Thanks.

@ Allfader: ¡Gracias por poner la entrevista, no la había leído! (Thanks for putting the interview, I hadn't read it!).

That's very interesting, I didn't know that, hopefully one day the remastered version will be released .

Cuando lei la entrevista a Vortex donde quería lanzar una versión remasterizada, recordé esto...

También espero que se lleve a cabo esa remasterización - en realidad el lanzamiento de la mezcla final del disco - , después de todo remasterizaron Aspera Hiems Symfonia, por qué no podrían hacer lo mismo con SS??

I hope on 2 or 3 years Steinar calls the guys to record something new... that's pretty possible IMO.

 

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Another question... anyone have a translation of Hufsa from Sideshow Symphonies? I'm afraid I am not fluent in Norwegian.

 

[DHG]

Hufsa is The Groke from the tv show called Moomin.

I got a french translation of the lyrics:

J´avance avec des râles et des cris
Partout ou je vais j´emporte le froid
Je veille éternellement le jour comme la nuit
Rivières froides et stériles
Vers la lumière je me dirige
Tous les hommes ferment leur porte
Seul pour toujours
A la recherche de quelqu´un avec lequel errer
Je suis l´hiver éternel
Tu es effraye quand je suis proche
Cherchant la chaleur eternelle
( * )
Mon tourment est plus grand que des mots

Which could translate into something like:

I move with shouts and screams
Wherever I go I bring cold
I "stay" eternally both day and night
Cold sterile rivers
Towards the light I'm going
Every men close their door
Alone forever
Looking for someone to stay with
I am the eternal winter
You are scared when I'm close
Looking for eternal warmth
(missing lyrics)
My torment is greater than words

That's my poor translation of a poor translation.

 

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Better than nothing
Thanks

Interesting to see the similar words in Norwegian and English, showing roots...

 

[Allfader]

Someone has some Good Arcturus wallpapers?? I lost the most part of my band pics :/

Thanx

 

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Wikimedia has some good shots from a show with Vortex. Lemme find them.

With some time in photoshop, you can probably make some sort of compilation wallpaper...

 

[Allfader]

I have the video for that show Thanx! the pics are great. I found the Arcturus wallpapers made by Season of Mist, but I was looking for the older ones that Arcturus.no had.

Btw, I found tons of Borknagar pics and some wallpapers too, maybe I'll do something on Fireworks.

 

[Undefined]

I uploaded and sent you a bootleg and you never sent one back to me like you said

No problem.

Where did you find those wallpapers at?
