I'm trying to make a compilation CD for a bunch of bands, and Opeth happens to be one of them. Choose any number of songs that can fit on an 80 minute CD, aaaaannd......kgo!

My car radio reads only audio CDs, no MP3 and no line in, so I have to use 80 min audio CDs. My current Opeth (heavy) selection CD is:

- The Lotus Eater
- The Night and The Silent Water (off Roundhouse tapes)
- Deliverance
- Ghost of Perdition
- Heir Apparent
- The Leper Affinity
- The Grand Conjuration
- Demon of the Fall (RH tapes).

Had to edit some of the tracks to fit them in (cut all the pre and post chatter in the live songs, cut off the swelling intro and the piano outtro on Leper Affinity...) but it's nice. Though I think I'm skipping TGC too much, should have gone with Baying of the Hounds instead.

You dont fuck up the order on Opeth songs... You listen to the albums one by one, hell that goes for any music tbh.

 

[To rid you disease]

cut off the swelling intro /.../ on Leper Affinity

Yeah, I know, but I had to do it, otherwise I had to remove Leper Affinity from the compilation and that's plain wrong.

Unless you have time for, I don't know, one fucking song, and gee, how convenient, you only want to listen to, say, one fucking song. Go burn iPods with Steven Wilson.

This works for me, as I have a 6-disc CD player in my car.

I was going to make a "Best of Old Opeth (Orchid & Morningrise)" compilation, but there's too many good tunes on those albums to fit onto one 80-minute CD. I also really really dig their older stuff.

Also, I never really liked MAYH that much, so nothing made the cut. Nope, not even Demon. The "wall of sound" style of the album turns me off.

However, if it's in the fall or winter and I really want to be in the "Opeth mood," I'll just listen to the full album (or "observation").

Not even Credence? I would think that would beat out Porcelin Heart... but thats just my onion.

 

[Arasmas]

why would you want to do this

You mean Credence is as boring as Porcelain Heart?

 

[Purple Haze]

Do one cd for every album

 

[Space Butler]

^^ No, thats not what I meant. He would put Porcelain Heart on his cd but not Credence, where I would do the opposite.

Thread needs more When.

 

[Kamel]

Every compilation or concert done will lack of one or two best songs and will have two worst songs instead, IMO

You read my mind.

Credence is beautiful and Porcelain Heart is ok (but its video is superb), but To Bid You Farewell owns every mellow track! my opinion
