    "In the presence of enemies the solitary shell is about to crash with the dance of eternity. Lost but not forgotten the stream of consciousness and panic attack through all along the dark eternal night.
    Bridges in the sky and enemy inside the glass prison, act of Faythe was like a saviour in the Square; breaking all illusions on these walls of my solitary shell."

      @johnappleseed8369 6 років тому +1

      Robin Flick Yeah, I love Watchtower. Great underappreciated band in general! Ron isn't a contemporary classical composer though. His approach to the 12 notes, reminds me of a theory called the "Tone clock", which still remains relatively obscure.

    This is one the greatest things I've heard. Dream Theater's music translates so well into classical, and I loved being able to recognize all of the parts you translated over. A good medley, and fantastic work! Don't ever stop! And props to you for using Metropolis/In The Presence of Enemies in the beginning!

      I'm sure Mike will appreciate it, but yeah the stuff from ADTOE will rub him the wrong way. I don't blame him. In my opinion if DT had written ADTOE without portnoy, then welcomed MP back to record it, it would have been one of the greatest DT albums ever.
