Why is the first part of the song so short? its about a minute of sweet acoustic guitars and it dies really fast. i think that if they made that part last longer and develop, it could have been my favorite song on Orchid.

I heard that there was a mastering problem and the acoustic passage was to be elsewhere in the album.The actual track " The Apostle in Triumph " is among my alltime fave OPETH tacks ever !!!!
The acoustic beginning is beautiful. I really enjoy it, but it's too bad it's so short. It disapoints me, but the whole track is still great and a highlight of Orchid.

protocol is right: the beginning of the apostle in triumph is the second part of requiem: read the official website, you opeth fans!!!! mikael explains that the people who mastered the album did an "unapologisable" error.
its all making sense now. thank you guys, that really cleared that one up. if you connect requiem and the first part of apostle, then its only 2 minutes: still should have been longer though, those acoustic riffs are sweet. i hope the mellow album will have something like that on there.

yes, it is unforgivable... I know if that was my recording I would be quite upset... But nevertheless, Orchid will remain as one of my favorite records...

I think having the opening acoustic part on the Apostile In Triumph track adds character to it...
hmn, then why is it on the re-release the same? shouldn't they have rectafied the problem? oh well, i suppose its because people are used to it be the apostile and will be upset if its changed, i suppose.

On the 1st Candlelight sampler, Lee (or whoever mastered it) starts The Apostle in Triumph at the right place!! 
When I first bought the album I thought "what the hell is going on??" it didn't start like this before!

i agree with transfixed. maybe i just got used to the track the way it is, and any other way seems absurd to me...

A-HAHAHA!
So many of the questions on this board can be answered by reading the info on the Opeth website...
