I had my CD of the CD in my SUV the day I got it on September 22nd! The Irish pipes were played by Troy...if you ask him what instruments he plays...he says "Yes!". He plays so many instruments... it's amazing! He also does a lot of back-up vocals! Can't wait to see more of your reviews! Cheers from Texas!
This is Nightwish for you. Its always nice to see the disbelied on peoples faces when they listen to these compositions. The husband will really enjoy Yesterwynde album.
As you go through the journey that is Nightwish, you will find a whole lot of Easter eggs in each song. Tuomas lends parts from one song to another. Example in this video you can hear influences from the song Sahara in the break from dark passion play. So this is your 3 song of Nightwish, the rabbit hole is deep. The journey well well worth it.
The celtic atmosphere at the end was created by Troy Donockly on the Uilleann Pipes, the whole production has British elements as it was recorded in the Abbey Road studios London.
3rd single from the brand new 10th album ,Yesterwynde, first album recorded with Jukka Koskinen on bass, he came from Wintersun same as Kai on drums, joining in 2021(permanent in 2022) after the departure of longtime bassist and vocalist Marko Hietala in 2021. Yes it's different from previous albums , but it's still Nightwish. The album is the 3rd in a trilogy of albums, along with Endless Forms Most Beautiful, and Human:II:Nature, all with themes dealing with life, science, nature, evolution, time, etc. Yesterwynde is a made up word, they didn't know what to call it, how to express what they wanted , so Troy made it up. Troy Donockley , from Cumbria U.K., is a multi instrumentalist playing at the end of this song on the Uilleann pipes, the Irish version of bagpipes that uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow. This allows the user to sing as well, which you will hear in other songs. Troy joined in 2007, made permanent in 2013 , along with Floor. This is the longest song on the album, 4 singles the other 3 are "Perfume of the Timeless" , "The Day of...", and the ballad "Lanternlight" To see Troy on the Uilleann pipes, try "I Want My Tears Back" from the Buenos Aires 2018 concert (2019 Decades DVD), plus a fun song with Floor dancing all over the stage.
Tuomas wanted to put all NW elements into this story he tells out to the world. In 10:13 not going enywhere...nooooo...you should know that Tuomas organizes surprises and just wait for a while. Troy plays the final with so strong feeling of being an islander.
Eric over on Thy Wylde Side had a great comment (paraphrased here) - you know this is a great song because you just sat and watched butterflies for 9 minutes and were OK with it.
Great to see you back - was wondering where you had gone - hope the problem was too debilitating. Really happy you're doing more Nightwish. Gabriel's list is well worth looking at! Take good care of yourselves 😊
Tryed to rank the album songs, be aware the songs are quite new to me also, so i might rank it diffrent after more listens, i did listen to all songs 10 times or more, but maybe listening with the upcoming lyric videos, change my scores. Yesterwynde - 8/10 A ocean of strange islands - 10/10 The Antikythera mecanism - 8,5/10 The day off.. - 8/10 Perfume of the timeless - 9/10 Sway - 8/10 The children of Ata - 8/10 Something whispered follow me - 8,5/10 Spider silk - 8,5/10 Hiraeth - 9/10 The weave - 8,5/10 Lanternlight - 9,5/10 Album rank: 8,5/10
Yesterwynde kinda feels like a hybrid between Nightwish and Auri. So far I have only listened to Perfume of the Timeless, The Day of, An Ocean of Strange Islands, and Lanternlight, and I have to say, I like what I'm hearing this far. I have been a Nightwish fan since the Tarja days, and they have yet to release an album I don't like, I doubt it will ever happen, though. My favorites on Yesterwynde so far is An Ocean of Strange Islands, and Lanternlight, I think. I preordered it on CD, but haven't recieved it yet, I guess the weekend got in the way.
Welcome back I thought you had probably left our sinking country 😀 hope you are feeling better, the last songs you did had a different bass player and different drummer and I don't think you heard Troy's input from the Uk before. See you for the next one.
Like Tuomas said it’s an album that has to be played from start to end as connected , masterpiece pieces of composition sway and lantern light two of my favourites but love ❤️ love the whole album it was worth the wait 😊
If you stick with Nightwish your in for a journey that's wonderful and full of masterpiece's, Tuomas Holopainen on the Keyboards is called the Mozart of Metal and is the composer of their music. Enjoy your journey, the rabbit hole runs very deep. If you here from Gabriel in the comment section he is referred to as the General of the Nightwish Army, he will help guide you through the Nightwish journey. 😀
