What were the runner-ups to Oceans Rise on Origin?

[Naglfar]

I wasn't surprised you guys choose Oceans Rise for Origin; there were several Archaic Course songs (Universal, Winter Millenium) that fit with the arrangements you guys used on Origin.

What songs were you seriously considering other than Oceans Rise? I know a lot of people would have liked to see Colossus, but it doesn't seem to me (even though Colossus is one of my favorite Borky songs) that it would have been easy to fit into Origin.

Winter Millenium might have been good, too.

Edit: Just in case, I'm not asking if Borknagar is planning to do more reduxes of older songs. I'm curious as to what songs it came down to when you finally had to make a choice.

Oh sorry im drunk ummm...hmmm...how about...ummm...well I can kinda picture an acoustic Nocturnal Vision especially the end

Hell no, you can't take anything from Quintessence and acousticize it. Precious!

i would have loved an acoustic version of The Winterway

They did more than acousticize Oceans Rise, though... that's why I was curious which ones they considered other than the track they used.
