Best moment on the new album

[TheSleeper]

State and discuss your favorite moment on the new album.

It's hard to choose, but mine goes to the part in "Secrets of Flight" when the song kicks in with "I play dead high upon my stage" around the 6:10 mark...damn, so much power and emotion. And then right after we get that beautiful acoustic sounding guitar work.

 

[SaTriaNi]

When the guitars drop in in Closing In That rocks!

 

[J!D]

when the solo kicks in "sun caged". wow.

 

[Sam027]

cant really tell, but the sun caged solo is indeed sick! thats what i call a wide range sweeping lick lol!

Ain't that a whammy?

 

[mcoenen]

yes it is a whammy

 

[Borkdude]

I like the unisono parts like in Sedation, at 2:00 and the up- and down unisono thang in Sun Caged at 2:55. Boy, I love unisono and nice melodies. Also I like the reversed count in Sedation at 7:05, hehe .

My favorite part is the Coenen solo in Unchanging... (at 3:06). It represents the most emotion on the cd I think.

 

[J!D]

yes it is a whammy

That's what I thought...
How did you come up with the idea for that part? It's unlike anything I've heard before!

BTW, any chance of tabs of that solo? (or any other song, for that matter) I probably can't play that particular part but I'm curious how it's played...

 

[SanderThomas]

Secret of Flight ~6.10 definately

Hollow 2.05 to ~2.40 kicks ass too

 

[keeper of the flame]

Too many great moments to mention just one.
But like said before the guitarsolo in Sun Caged is awesome. Marcel, I don't know how you pull it off but you rock.

 

[SymphonyOfDreams]

Defenitly "Sun Caged" 1:37 - 2:02 and the piano solo... that song rules!

 

[Hawk]

The soloing in "Sun Caged" rules indeed. Besides the great guitar work on this record I'll have to say that I am *very* inpressed by Joost. He RULES! Must be my favorite keyboard player now. I like the way he varies his sounds.

 

[Borkdude]

I just thought today, the fill in Hollow at 3:12... I always love it when it comes by.

Just a simple thing like a fill can make a great moment too .

 

[Darkmeteor]

I think I'm the only one whos favourite part is the end part of soil (6:00 till end) with the flange effect. This is also my favourite song

 

[Serge...]

My favorite part of any Sun Caged song has always been the solo to Closing In. My god, I love that tapping part.
*air guitar in the vein of Bill and Ted*

 

[mcoenen]

Hehe Bill and Ted rule

Thanks Serge
