Old Composer REACTS to Porcupine Tree Arriving Somewhere But Not Here | Reaction & Breakdown
Richard Barbieri is a genius at creating emotion with his soundscapes. I discovered this band before they were famous. They have grown so much over the years and I feel very honored to have witnessed it.
Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth sings the little hook in the chorus and he also plays the guitar solo in the interlude. The solo sounds unmistakably Mikael.
I did not know that. Really cool!
I could recognize Mikael's soloing from 1000 miles away. You just look for that "I think I need to cry" feeling.
Check out Storm Corrosion if you haven't already
Storm Corrosion is an awesome collab between Mikael and Steven Wilson. Very unexpected masterpiece.
Wait which line?
Porcupine Tree - Russia on Ice. An unsung masterpiece from an underrated album.
Good pick, hope he does it
YES!!
yep amazing song
Indeed. It feels like nobody ever suggests russia on ice, but it's a freaking masterpiece of a song.
I've been suggesting this for a while now!
I believe Steven once called this 'About as much fun as you can have with 2 chords.'
Its the Built to Spill philosophy.
That's new to me. Could you give a quick explanation?
@@TFFgeek Oh, that’s just my own phrasing. Built to Spill is an indie/jam band, and most of their music is like that. They take a well written 3 or 4 chord progression, and expand on it for 5-7 minutes. They have a song “Traces” that’s a good representation of that.
@@TheAlibabatree Allright. I'll check it. Always interesting to delve into new bands. Thanx! :D
@@TFFgeek No problem. They have a lot of indie pop elements, so you may not enjoy all of their stuff, depending on your palate.
You just became my favorite reactions youtuber. Biased because this is one of my favorite tracks, by one of my favorite bands and musicians, but the patience you had in resetting the song after the buffer or loading issues in the beginning was really awesome. You wanted to hear what you were hearing for everything it was, a true reaction. I can really see you do this as a passion, whereas a lot of others do it because it's a popular thing to do.
Yup dec my fav band... I've been expanding and trying to get them all on vinyl and all of Steven's solo stuff on vinyl and blackfield.... jiat found pineapple thief they are pretty good check em out
Why nobody say nothing about Richard Barbieri? the master of these ambient sound escapes !
And when you know this you hear Japan.
What that man said....!!!
no doubt. Give PT it's flavor for sure
Allrighttttt!!
^ My brain, as soon as I saw this thumbnail
Coming back to these in 2024…Porcupine Tree all day!
STORM CORROSION - Drag Ropes
PORCUPINE TREE's Steven Wilson and Mikael Åkerfeldt of OPETH made this album.
I just came here to recommend this.
@@dirtydan2007 Same
Mikeal does the solo too?
Yes! Do Storm Corrosion🤩
"The Drummer" (Gavin Harrison) is also one of the drummer's for King Crimson.
Fun fact: Steven Wilson produced Opeth's album Blackwater Park!
@Hellig Usvart he also produced deliverance and damnation, as well as mastered pale communion, and mikael is the one playing that beautiful little guitar solo on this track. they worked very closely together for a long time.
@@Rassalcon Not to mention their collaborative effort "Storm Corrosion" ! Terrific album.
@@tiernanrea1726 One of a kind masterpiece that.
@@Rassalcon He also sings on Master's Apprentices, and came up with the "The Drapery Falls" lead melody
@@TheAskald he sings on drapery falls as well you know
One of the great songs of the modern era. A true masterpiece, imho. Thank you for doing this one. Porcupine Tree has SO much great music.
Agree man... this track has it all! (among others, but so so good)
Listen to Porcupine Tree, start of something beautiful. It`s amazing.
Sound of Muzak by Porcupine Tree is also very good
🤙
I once played that to a pro musician and he nearly wet himself with immediate affection for it. I've always loved it but had no idea is was as complex as he went on to say it was.
Colin Edwin was PT's bassist - criminally underrated. Now in a band called O.R.K.
...and about 50 other projects and solo stuff.
My favourite bassist. there are more technical players, but he does not play a bad note ever.
Yes, the smile of prog scene
@@HCXWinchester legend has it that he hasn’t stopped smiling since he joined the band in ‘93
one of the cleanest, tastefull and on-point bass player alive
Porcupine tree,opeth,tool. My fave 3 proggy bands.
Love tool, and opeth. Both one of a kind bands, once in a generation levels of artistic prestige. Mesmerizing musicians, that lot.
It sounds like you would absolutely love lucid planet, go check them out, they've done an extraordinary job on both of their albums, i recommend listening to both
My top 3 as well.
The holiest of trinities
Great bands add Pink Floyd and the list is complete
If you want great _VOCAL_ arrangements from Porcupine Tree, be sure to listen to the song _"Heartattack in a layby"_
That song is a real tear-jerker, too.
I prefer Collapse Light Into Earth for that...
Both are amazing Porcupine Tree songs!
In Absentia is a great album.
YES!
"Heartattack in a layby" touches my soul every time I listen to it.
It's really nice but I find it too repetitive
I think Geebz needs to do be presented to the genius that is Daniel Gindelöw from Pain Of Salvation. A Trace of Blood, Rope Ends or Undertow maybe?
I'd recommend King of Loss or going back a bit further to People Passing By. Either way, Pain of Salvation's a must!
Definitely yes to any of those 3! I'll add On A Tuesday to that list
We could always suggest the entire "Be" album 😬
@@inkubuzz Yes! I'd be happy with the entirety of Remedy Lane and Perfect Element as well... Maybe just do all of them? 😁
I did point him out on that direction some videos ago! :D
Drums - Gavin Harrison. The sounds you hear are real. His set is quite the set-up.
Could be some of the best PT songs to react to:
Trains 🚊
Time flies
Blackest eyes
Sound of Muzak
Shesmovedon
Lazarus
Mellotron scratch
Open Car
You absolutely have to listen to Porcupine Tree- Buying a New Soul :) !
Yep, another classic !
FYI. Gavin Harrison is THE drum machine in the background on that bridge. No loop.
Live version is even more mesmerizing,
That is always the case with PT. The crowd energy and the precision and emotion of the band is, well, mesmerizing. We have done our duty and informed him.
All the performances uploaded are great, but the Rockpalast one is sublime..
@@PjYogiBear Yes - That venue seems to bring out the best in bands and elevate the best bands to new heights.It is just the right size.
Let's hope our man gets to see these virtuosos getting it together live, at least once - HATESONG.
Richard Barbier was the keyboard player. His career goes back all the way to 1977 with the English band Japan. A band that started out as a kind of New York Dolls pastiche, transformed to one of the more influential New Romantic New Wave bands. After Japan broke up, each member became virtuoso musicians, especially the bassist Mick Karn (RIP) Richard's use of synthesizers in all the bands and projects he has played with has always been a highlight of the music.
What’s really enticing about this piece is the deliberate incremental progression from seemingly random notes, instruments and rhythms into an intense full on assault of the audio spectrum. This is just part of Steven Wilson’s experimental nature, and why I am always expecting something new and exciting from him. Steven creates soundscapes that manipulate the ambiance as noted by ye olde composer, but he always surprises me with his unusual integration of musical tangents…them changes…lol.
1:44 - man apparently not enough coffee yet.
"The first coffee morning sip"
"Arriving somewhere but nowhere"
😂😂😂😂😂
When my grandfather died 2 years ago I listend to this song and it still makes me cry! Arriving somewhere..but not here really gets me! Thank you for reacting to this!!
btw the soulful guitar solo after the heavy part in this song is played by Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth. As Steven was the producer and a guest musician in Blackwater Park, similarly Mikael was a guest musician in this album. You gotta do more Opeth. May be "The Drapery Falls" or "Burden" by them.
Yes! Burden!
Drapery falls is a must
Burden for sure
Please please please do "drive home - Steven Wilson"
But with the music video! Imo they should be reacted to together
@@Timootius 100%. That song is a complete story and the video is a big piece of it.
Omg Yes!!!
maybe the best band I never would've heard of if not for this channel!
Yeah, it's insane they are not known more widely.
Maybe you could make a reaction to Steven Wilson's Drive Home! It's a masterpiece! Greetings from a Brazilian viewer
Just found this Channel, I just want to tell you that this is one of the most beautiful things I ever experienced for the past few weeks. I mean Steven Wilson knows what he's doing, and you actually know what he's doing and make us viewers easy to understand. You might be the only reacter on UA-cam that truly convince me. I can see that by your expression, profession, and attitude to your work. Really touched. To me the key to enter Porcupine Tree's world is the imageness of their music. Images pop up in your head when you listen to them, like OST of a film. And the way they composed and engineered is just like the the scenarios of a film. Thank you so much to do this dissection and sorry for my bad English.
Man, you NEED to listen to Pain of Salvation. Some amazing songs are: The Perfect Element, Beyond the Pale, In the Flesh, A Trace of Blood, Enter Rain, Sisters, Kingdom of Loss, Mrs. Modern Mother Mary, Reconciliation..... the list goes on and on. I know it's a lot, but they're ALL ridiculously amazing songs and worth listening to. But you do need to read the lyrics as their albums/songs are highly conceptual and follow a line of events.
Anyway, you're goddamn awesome and your videos are precious. Thank you for doing what you do!
Geebz! - VERY much agree! Please check them out, the vocals and musicianship is astounding, can be complex, moody, straight forward and all in 1 track. Very emotional stuff as well, hope you get around to them. Thank you Rafael, been a fan since "One Hour by the Concrete Lake" \m/.
The entire Be album
I like PoS a lot, most of their music honestly is great stuff, Remedy Lane is one of my favorite albums. But their last album was shit.
Gavin Harrison on drums, no need to loop. He's that good.
At 6:45, I can actually see the wonderment in anticipating what the next chord could possibly be, and at 6:47, that half-grin and nod of approval as if to say, "Those cheeky bastards!" My wife says you and I react identically to music. (Old DeComposer here, too. Lol) AWWRIGHT!!!
Oh man, I love this song! First time hearing. Porcupine Tree has always been at the top of my list of bands to dive into. Now I’m finally going to do it. Beautiful work
Mikael Akerfelt plays guitar and does backing vocals for this track.
dude I think of myself as a huge opeth and wilson fan and I didnt even know this thats super cool
“Trains” is a great tune by PT. Check it out!!!
Also .3, which is criminally underrated but a masterpiece of production.
yep
He finally got to it. His suggestion list must be pretty long!
Richard Barbieri is such a magician man….the added textures he brings to an already colourful palate is otherworldly…or maybe his work was the seed to the inception of this masterpiece….either ways….Porcupine Tree as an entity is heavenly…..
Nice that you reacted to this song, it's great.
I'd recommend The Pineapple Thief - White Mist.
+111111
That's awesome. I just posted the same thing. Had a opportunity to see Pineapple Thief live up here in Michigan before the pandemic. Absolutely phenomenal.
Steven Wilson is the main dude of PT, he writes and produces everything himself as well as playing guitar and singing. Little fun fact, for the last few years he's been remixing classic prog albums by Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Yes, and others. Retains the vibe of the original mixes but significantly cleans up noise and adds clarity.
I never see people mention “In Absentia” but I think that is their best album start to finish. Masterpiece.
some other albums have better songs, but over all start to end yeah In absentia is great and might even hold up to Fear of a Blank Planet
One of my favourites as well.
@@passerbycmc agreed. arriving somewhere but not here is my fav PT song but in absentia is a their best album.
@@passerbycmcI could listen to those 2 albums on repeat repeatedly. Haha. P.T. is such a gem, mainstream can't handle the overarching genius.
One of my absolute favorite Porcupine Tree songs is "What Happens Now?" Part of my soundtrack of life.
Edit: Still here, and Steven Wilson is the singer, guitar player, and founding member of Porcupine Tree. He has done a lot of work on other albums though, like Blackwater Park by Opeth. His solo work is excellent also. No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun is a really fun song from his first solo album.
Gavin's drumming in that song makes me question reality, it's unreal how good they are.
One of my favourite guitar solos ever. Such a great build, and using a lot of layering. Also really showcases how beautiful the cry of a stratocaster can be
this
All 4 songs on Nil Recurring are exceptional.
That heavy breakdown is one of the best you will hear in any song!!!
My roomate just showed me this band holy shit are they good
Hit the nail on the head with your comment 'wish you could listen to a certain piece forever'. Both Steven Wilson and heavier songs from Opeth accomplish exactly this. You get a killer riff and they draw it out across several more bars than you'd expect.
Great song and great reaction. Also, the album is based on a screenplay written by Steven Wilson and Mike Bennion, and is a ghost story. Wilson has stated that the songs "Deadwing", "Lazarus", "Arriving Somewhere but Not Here", "Open Car", and "Mellotron Scratch" were originally intended for the film soundtrack, but when the project failed to find the funding they were instead recorded for the next Porcupine Tree album.
As much as this song appeals to me as a musician, the lyrics on this one always hit me emotionally. It's like revisiting grief. Nice choice!
you have to see it live, also "Anesthetize "The start of something beautiful " "The sound of Muzak" just great live !!
He already did Anesthetize, I just dont remember if it was studio or live version.
@@inkubuzz yes he did the studio version.
@@inkubuzz live is so much more than the studio version 😍
Cant disagree.... I love both thou. 😃
Glad you've got around to more Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree. Please listen to 'Drive Home' next time you circle back to him, the solo from Guthrie Govan will blow you away.
Routine is a must, Perfect Life is haunting in its own way, too
Guthrie's solo btings me to tears on Drive Home. Just so profoundly beautiful.
@@emjem99 Totally, it's my favourite solo I've ever heard. Completely stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it.
I've heard this song countless times, but from reading these comments I just learnt that Mikael Akerfeldt is on this track. I never knew this. So not only do I get to enjoy your reactions, but I'm learning new things about my favourite tracks and artists. Thank you so much dude!
The Start of Something Beautiful from the same album is one I think you would enjoy.
Above all the technicalities and heavy discussion on music composition and production,the best part is how music unites all of us throughout different parts of the world. His priceless reaction over hearing the song for the first time,and all of our priceless reactions when we hear gems like this,is the gift of music❤️
Porcupine Tree - "Time Flies" and "Blind House"
That entire album start to finish is amazing.
Time Flies is one of my favorites that flies under the radar. No pun intended.
I always found 'The Incident' to be an amazing piece of music, one of my favourites by them actually, I really don't get the hate towards that record
Unlike most Rock Bands--these guys know how to use dynamics...and with great effect
Yes, Steven Wilson is lead singer and producer of Porcupine Tree, and he also plays a lot of instruments as well (guitar, keys and I thinks bass too on this track).
Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth is doing backing vocals on this track and one of the guitar solos.
Keyboards by Richard Barbieri🤘🏼😃
Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt does backing vocals and the clean solo midway through the song.
I never realised this and am a massive Opeth fan. In fact it was Opeth that led me to Porcupine Tree.
I truly consider this one of the best atmospheric songs ever written. Great example of how sometimes, less can be more in terms of a profound impact. Great reaction as always! :)
This was one of the songs that really got me into Porcupine Tree. I remember going on to an IMDb forum (when they had those) and there was a Music forum. I asked for some new music and talked about bands I liked, and someone had recommended Porcupine Tree. They showed me "Blackest Eyes", "Lazarus", and "Arriving Somewhere..." and I fell in love. Steven Wilson has been my favorite artist since that day 14 years ago.
This really solidified my love for progressive rock/art rock as my favorite style and preferred way to approach composing music. Using it as a way to create a soundscape and a journey for someone instead of a just a 'song'.
Recommendations:
Fear of a Blank Planet
Blackest Eyes
Lazarus (My personal favorite)
Blind House
One of the things that has always drawn me to PT, is the intentionality of their song structure and soundscape...without being overwrought or clunky. Steven Wilson is undoubtedly a musical genius and the band members, esp Gavin the drummer, are excellent to exceptional, and I just love how organic and smooth their music sounds.
Insanely good band. "The Start of Something Beautiful" is my top song of theirs currently. Heard Mikael say in an interview, that there's something for everyone to love in Porcupine Tree's music, and he couldnt be more right. Imminent band
Yesss, the bridge part very beautiful
This was pretty cool... There is a lot to choose of this band and if you are interested Steven Wilson and all members of the band are a great musicians.
"The older I get, the better I was". That's a good line. Haven't heard that before. I'm gonna use it
Geebz talks about the Bass... Colin Edwin... so underrated !.. not in my mind,,.... a pure genius.
The Moon Touches Your Shoulder, Up The Downstair, Moonlioop, The Sky Moves Sideways, Radioactive Toy. All phenomenal PT songs, Geebz!😊👍🏽
The pads and ambiance should be credited, at least in part, to Richard Barbieri. He played in Japan from the mid 70s to early 80s.
30 Day Countdown - more Porcupine Tree please - The Start of Something Beautiful, Trains, Russia on Ice, Hatesong - live version
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here is my all-time favorite Porcupine Tree song! This video made my day!
F**k yes! Such a great band and incredible song. Steven Wilson is an absolute genius and when he works with Mikael Akerfeldt it's just magic.
FINALLY, this is one of my fav song!!!! thank you for the reaction.. keep going with PT
(also the 1st pause, it killed me man xd)
Vektor - Recharging the Void
Insane song
Great song, but give that wife beating prick DiSanto no attention
In a live setting, with all the power and dynamics, this song is an emotional journey unlike any other.
This band is basically a supergroup. Gavin Harrison is my favorite drummer. Great stuff. The Tree!!!!!
Porcupine rules!!!
The song Blackest Eyes is a great one by Porcupine Tree.
His little sly smiles throughout this video resonate with the feeling we all get listen to Steven Wilson
I think this was the first track I heard from PT and fell in love. Still gives the same vibes.
Funny note on your first series of comments, Porcupine Tree has a song called 'Four Chords that Made a Million'.
I really enjoy hearing you talk about the music and analyze it, and seeing your immediate knee-jerk reactions while you listen. It's good entertainment! I kind of wish my works were popular enough to deserve a break down by you, just because I'd love to see you take it apart. Good stuff, dude!
Great reaction...!!.....You are a very intelligent person......first reaction personage that I have subscribed to.....
Dynamics. The key to amazing music.
Amazing song.
My suggestions:
Trains by Porcupine Tree.
Cherry Waves by Deftones.
The Package by A Perfect Circle.
The song that got me into PT which is now my fave band ❤️. Please do “Time Flies” from the album “The Incident” 😊
Even with the buffer issues in the beginning, you stayed calm, closed your eyes, breathed quietly and deeply, taking in the fantastic intro to this masterpiece. You're not just "Old" (you and I are +/- the same age ;)), you're also and especially wise - proud to be a subscriber!
Hello Mr. Sun...goober on my friend. Great band, great reaction!! 🤘☮️🤘
Even Less is the song that got me hooked on Porcupine Tree, and I think you would find much to appreciate in it. It's from the album Stupid Dream which was released at the end of the 90s.
You are getting all the best songs in your recent reactions. I'm excited to see what you think of this masterclass in composition. :)
You were right - this is Steven Wilson. He was the main brain behind PT, and also the lead vocalist/guitar player. You were also right that he's in tune with the compositions of the 70's. Some of PT's older catalog is a lot more reminiscent of that era of music.
For other PT reactions I think you'd really enjoy:
Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape, Gravity Eyelids, Deadwing (the song, on an album of the same name)
Ive been watching "reaction" video for the longest.you have been the most genuine of all of them, your style of breakdown feels like a professor talking to a student. very inspiring
Makes more sense if you watch it live. Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (Live) There are no loops. Gavin is a purist and plays it through. One of the reasons I love this band. Steven Wilson's guitar playing solo is amazing. John Wesley harmonizes and guitar solo.
You mentioned that interlude with the guitar solos over the drums that were effected down, that was a real kit "squashed down" in post. The drummer is Gavin Harrison and is a genius in his art. Check out his work by google-ing him.
It doesn't have to be the next PT song you do, but please please please react to "The Sky Moves Sideways" as soon as you can get to it. It is absolutely mesmerizing, probably my personal favorite song/album by PT
I still remember discovering Porcupine Tree back in 2000. Saw the album art on a listening station at the local record store and checked out Lightbulb Sun. Bought it that day and after listening to it at home, ran back to the store and bought everything I could find from them. That night I heard The Sky Moves Sideways for the first time and put that track on repeat for a couple more listen throughs. That night was over 20 years ago and I still remember it vividly.
Criminally underrated album
This is such a beautiful song
I highly recommend "Every Home is Wired" off PT's Signify album.
Not just a spooky foresight into things te come and a nice jam at the end, but you gotta love the wordplay in that title/lyric.
I love "Arriving somewhere". :)
1:48 you did it again with the title, I find it so cute haha
And to boot - it was right ion front of my and mind did what it wanted!!! Like I say, the older I get the better I was!!! LOL!!
Steven Wilson is the frontman (lead singer and composer) of Porcupine Tree! The band split up around 2010 i think, and around that time, he had started his solo project. But he’s also been in numerous other projects such as Blackfield, No-Man, Bass Communion, and Storm Corrosion.
His solo carreer started relatively early with Insurgentes (2008) and PT's last album, The Incident, came out in 2009. They split up soon afterwards. And beside the ones you mentioned he also did the Incredible Expanding Mindfuck (his attempt at krautrock) and some interesting Cover Versions.
@@TFFgeek yeah i said “around that time” not “exactly” when PT split up. Ya his covers are pretty cool too. Overall my favorite project of his besides PT might be Blackfield.
Actually they never really split up, Steven just did his thing and said that is solo project is the only thing that matters to him.
But I remember also Steven saying many many years ago that he would never have a family (wife and kids) because he choose music, and look what happened last year.
I really hope PT will come back one day and i'm sure it's not totally dead.
@@SorooshMhs Allright, didn't mean to be a wise-ass about it. Just clearifying. :) Blackfield is very nice. V suprised me, it was like a nice mix of the old and new Blackfield.
@@Taradhish yeah that’s fair. But with the musical direction he’s heading, i dont think he’ll be interested in Porcupine Tree anytime soon. Or if he is, it wouldn’t sound anything like their previous albums.
If you love the raw emotional side of PT and Steven Wilson, check out their song Normal. It's so textured and colorful...
I'm always a bit hesitant to speak up, but I feel that you come off as appreciative of comments, so here goes nothing. =-)
First, wanted to say that I've been enjoying your content. The way you approach these breakdowns/decompositions is refreshing, not too technical, not too much fangirling. You clearly know what you're talking about too, which is always a nice find.
So from that angle, thank you for the time and effort you've put into your channel, it's appreciated!
Second, if you're still wanting some suggestions, several come to mind.
One of my favorite bands is Before The Dawn (melodic death metal), "Deadsong" from their 2007 album "Deadlight" is great, and "Monsters" from their 2008 album Soundscape Of Silence is, to me, downright haunting.
Another favorite, and perhaps less known, is Slumber (also melodic death metal), who sadly only had one album back in 2004, Fallout, their song "Where Nothing Was Left" is one I always come back to. Something about their production/composition always keeps me wanting more.
If you would like something a bit more akin to Unleash The Archers, check out Beast In Black (power metal), the vocals are unreal in "Blind And Frozen" from their 2017 album Berserker.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, there's The Midnight (retrowave), lately I'm caught up in their song "Fire In The Sky" from their 2020 album Monsters.
Lastly, there a couple of bands with long-standing careers I think you'll love. Paradise Lost (gothic metal), I would point you to what got them on the scene, "Gothic" from their 1991 album of the same name. That band is crazy, from early death metal to synth pop, they've done a lot of different styles. Also fun fact, with the exception of the drummer, they've had the same lineup since the mid-to-late 1980s, when they formed. If you want to check out their synth pop phase, "So Much Is Lost" from their 1999 album Host will scratch the itch.
Dark Tranquillity (melodic death metal) emerged around the same time as Paradise Lost, far as I recall, you might enjoy "Monochromatic Stains," from their 2002 album Damage Done.
I hope you and your family are staying safe during these crazy times, and again, thanks for the content!
You got me when you said you love the long fade as much as I do … I know, that was 27 minutes after the beginning of the video… I Know 🙂
One of my favourite songs, and first time watching a video from you. Absolutely great! Congratulations. I don’t know if you did it already, but if not, here’s a suggestion also from Porcupine Tree… “Voyage 34 (Phase One). What a master piece!
POrcupine Tree have done so many classic long songs. One of my favourites was Russia on Ice from Lightbulb Sun or "Even Less" for something shorter.
Which version of Even Less? The demo, the first version or the final version? :p
Good question! I've heard and loved 2 of those but I was referring to the shorter one on the album.
@@almor2445 Allright, that's fair. But to be honest, I can't listen to the short version alone. I feel that is was meant as an 13+ epic, so therefor I always listen to a 'full version'. But hey, that's me. :)
Ok I've reminded myself what you mean and while I do like the longer version it meanders a bit for my taste. I can see why others might love it.
