Damn, this got a peoper face-lift for Crystallised. The guys had clearly grown a lot as songwriters. The death metal stuff in the middle sounds so bad here.

Prefer this version to Earthlings, but both are superb. Incredible atmosphere that reminds me slightly of early King Crimson circa Lizard. I love Haken and I have no doubt that in my mind they are the finest band of the 21st century. They deserve to be huge, but we all know the music business doesn't work like that.

Draw back the curtains, there is light, our mystery shall be revealed. Like a raindrop falling from the sky, we'll merge with the ocean of souls. Nothing in the distance, can't you see your journey's end? Only existing as a memory... Life is free! Make the most of what'cha got before it costs. Fly! With the wind, don't be chained down by your doubts. Plant the seed, feed the need that breeds inside you! And we will never turn to stone, our spirit will travel beyond. If you're searching for the answers, you will find there is no proof. Feel the void, it waits, bound by man's fate. Flesh will rot inside the tomb, no return from death. Embrace the end, solitary entrapment. Souls cascade, time dissolves, embrace your fate. Elevate, ascend beyond your mind, submerge with the stream of life. From this mortal zenith we inhale, we gaze on the valley of life. Everyday must close, I have turned to stone, existing as a memory. Time dictates our end. White light pulls me, shines on my memory. Intrigue draws me, mortal mystery. Mist engulfs me, clouds our history, elation guides me, senses in harmony. Myth engulfs my senses...

earthlings = better song ; black seed = more interesting / innovative idea to be worked out in the future (chord progression)
@gabrielblacklock39214 жыл бұрын
I think the black seed chord progression is kind of too weird. It just doesn't make musical sense really imo. Which is unusual for a Haken song.

My freaking gosh...... this is amazing. I think it'd be awesome if they redid this whole album. Not like Darkest Light, Earthlings, and Crystallised (although those are masterpieces, I love them). But like just play these songs like they were originally, but with better production and all that stuff. This music is so sick, and I wish they didn't ignore it. Don't know what I mean by that? You can go to the Haken website and actually try to buy this album. It's on there, but it's not for sale. 😢

NUGGet3562 I'm of the same opinion!
@Atomheartfather166 жыл бұрын
NUGGet3562 but have you read what the band said about their development during all those years. they changed a lot and in the beginning everything seemed possible, the tracks where long (maybe even too long in their opinion) and full of ideas. so they tried to concentrate the songs. watch the length of the tracks on the demo and aquarius compared to affinity or vector. compare for example streams with in memoriam or the good doctor. then you can see the main line of development of Haken. in my opinion the most of the new things are still genius. although I miss a lot of things that were on the demo and on aquarius and (except a bit in the mountain) never came back. therefore new interesting things entered the 6th dimension of Haken universe. so again I have to agree with you. it's a big pity that aquarius is the only well produced existing album in this old style and the demo is a masterpiece with bad sound quality. although I have to agree with Haken when they say there is a bit too much in some songs (especially snow). Haken should rerecord this song and the following! but they should do it in the way they would like to do now like with the restoration album. otherwise they cannot be creative with the material. and that would be not progressive at all!

All the songs in the album Restorationcontain slices of pieces in the album Enter the 5th Dimension, listen for example to Blind(5th Dim) and Darkest Light(Rest) or Snow(5th) and Crystallised. They are very similar songs and also have very similar names, and it couldn't be different as the lyrics have remained almost the same
