Essence of Progression: I love this title! I can see a future live album or DVD being called that!

 

[asymmetry]

I would give my sould to see this! F***! But I have no chance to see it!

 

[EvilFiek]

Omg! Spheric Universe Experience? Awesome! I was afraid I would've to drive to France eventually to see those lads. Great to see them touring with Threshold. That's going to be one hell of a tour! (And I'll be there on two nights...YAY!!)

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

1 Which ones?

1. Life Flow (Hypothetical acoustic version)
2. Light & Space
3. Narcissus
4. Days of Dearth
5. A Tension of Souls
6. Eat The Unicorn
7. Freaks
8. Sunrise On Mars
9. Ground Control
10. Mission Profile
11. One Degree Down
12. Fighting For Breath
13. Safe To Fly
14. Pilots In The Sky of Dreams

How about you guys?

Threshold have announced more details of their upcoming Essence Of Progression tour across Europe starting next month, including a sneak look at some of the songs on the setlist.

"It's great to be racing across Europe one more time before we start work on the new album" commented Threshold keyboard player Richard West.

"It's going to be an epic set! Alongside our usual suspects such as Slipstream and Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams we're planning to add a lot of long tracks which don't often get played like Consume To Live, The Whispering and The Art Of Reason. What's more we'll be adding some songs we've NEVER played live before such as Fighting For Breath and our 13 minute epic Critical Mass (part 1-3). We'll also be performing a previously unreleased song from our new fan club album that will be on sale at the shows. We just can't wait to get out there again!"

I don't know if I'll be able to cope with CM being played. And I can think of one person who will be very pleased to see The Whispering

Exciting times!

 

[LavagesOfTime]

And I can think of one person who will be very pleased to see The Whispering

me too

 

[forgottenglory]

Never played before tracks. Epic tracks. Long Progressive Tracks. This is a dream coming true! Now there's a band listening to their fans. YEAH!

 

[Cello]

...just

This is awesome news

 

[forgottenglory]

I hope they play Babylon Rising off Psychedelicatessen

 

[Astrid]

I would really really like it if they play "Phenomenon". Hint hint!

 

[forgottenglory]

They have played Phenomenon in the past haven't they? But playing Critical Mass...that's going to be A-AWESOME!

 

[Cello]

Confusing me with forgottenglory? I guess that means you're buying!!!

Sure thing!

...then morning in amsterdam, train down to Z and the gig...

If I don't go with my usual buddy, I could travel along in the train and offer you a 40% discount on your train journey. Easiest would be to travel to "Den Haag Laan Van NOI" and take the public transportation - Randrail they call it - to Halfweg Laag or something like that, which is right outside the Boerderij venue.

 

[Ayreonaut]

i think you mean voorweg...

i'll tryto meet you lot for a beer, chances are that i will be a bit busy with some other friends though.

 

[Cello]

i think you mean voorweg...

Voorweg, thats the one, not Halfweg Either way, it's 10 minutes or so from Den Haag Laan van NOI and never more than a 8 minute wait for the Randrail train.

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

being used to UK rail prices, the trip from Amsterdam to Zoetermeer seems pretty cheap in any case!

Rough plan is to be travelling down mid afternoon but there are a few things up in the air just now

Since Damian rejoined the band, I kept hoping for The Whispering to make it back on the setlist – and there we are! Wow.
It’s one of Threshold’s most powerful, and wonderful epics, so hearing it live again (1997 was the last time, indeed) will be just plain fantastic.
Thank you Threshold, for reviving this outstanding piece of musical art.

It seems you made not only me happy with that choice either.

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

And talking of the tour, the new EOP ad looks amazing - just a little clearer than a silhouette, enough to make out who's who, on that vibrant background!
