Couldn't disagree more. When you think of the "chaotic" part as the war, think of "Soon" as the aftermath, surveying the battlefield in the misty morning and viewing the hell that man has unleashed on fellow man, yet there is an element, a ray of hope ("the sun will lead us, our reason to be here") that we will persevere and survive. It's because this gentle part follows the ferocious chaos that I was (and still am) so moved by this piece. |
Well said, Pat. i wanted to answer Pablo's post as well but you did not only faster, but definitely better than i would have  . Soon is so beautiful and you Pat, such a magnificent talented poet   ...Ah! the misty morning........!!  |
Don't know if you read my post Antoine, but I DID SAY it is a beautiful piece, but just that it doesn't flow as say  , I Get Up section from CTTE or "And through the rhythm of moving slowly..." from Revealing Science of God. Anyways that's me...

Godbluff  World record 1/2 The quiet Zone 1/2
Sorry but i like my singer who actually sings, not vomiting, throwing up, getting hysteric and all that. Hammill nicely singing at the beginning (Refugees is the perfect example but horrors like LA Rossa or Arrow or most of World Record, i can't take it..Sorry!, but that's me. But H to He is wonderful , that's for sure!

Can't say I've fallen in love with it. Classic Italian symphonic characters, but leaving me wanting something more. I'd say it's a little flat emotionally, at least for me, even with the great vocals. Leaning towards a "Good, but not essential. Three stars."

I thought the vocals were a bit weak myself... I thought the music itself was extremely well done.. considering these were literally kids... would have to refresh my memory... but think they were young. yeah.. refreshed my memory the keyboard player was 14 f**king years old hahahha..

going to give that a fresh spin after I finish a refresher listen of Banco's first... pay a little more attention to the vocals.

I'm streaming In The Cage by Genesis because I just realized that I've never heard anything off of that album
