Pagan's Mind - Infinity Divine question:

[SharkBlack]

"Enigmatic Calling" is my favorite CD by Pagan's Mind and is in my top five discs of all-time. But I think all their releases have been stellar.

HELL YEAH!!!! Seconded...

 

[Metaldrumz]

On that note,anybody wanna buy the original??? lol

Yup....how much? Or if you wanna trade for something PM me.

Here's another Pagan's Mind question...

Love the "Celestial Entrance" CD, but there are a couple of passages on "The Prophecy of Pleiades" that blatantly borrow both lyrically and musically from Dream Theater's "Learning to Live."

Is there a specific story behind this song?

If i had to guess i would just say they were tipping their hat to the masters.

 

[TychoCelchu]

They talked about it after the song came out. It is an intentional and conscious tribute to DT. Excellent song in general too.

Thanks for the responses.

I figured it was most likely a tribute. However, I once read an interview with fantasy author David Eddings, and he said he wouldn't let himself read other fantasy authors (aside from Tolkien), because he knew he absorbed stuff like a sponge – and didn’t want to accidentally “borrow” someone else’s ideas!

Hey, in the picture of all the Pagan's Mind CD's earlier in this thread, there appears to be a DVD in the lower left corner. Do they have a DVD out?

Thanks,

You're referring to my picture.

They have released a few DVD's however nothing too amazing. Just DVD's of there official videos they've done. I just have all the different versions they've sent out for promo materials or sold at shows.

I'm a Pagan's Mind fanatic so I have just about everything they've released and more.

I really like the band as well. Need to get their first CD. Are their DVD's for sale? I haven't found anything by searching.

Thanks,

So instead, he shamelessly copied the plot from the Belgariad books and re-used it for his Malloreon series.......and even had the characters joke about a certain deja vu feeling that they've done this all before. uke:


Err, we now return you to the somewhat less plagiaristic world of Pagan's Mind....before I go off on a rant about Terry Brooks or something.
