OSI Radiologue

[@philosopher2king]

Radiologue is about Donald Crowhurst, a British sailor with little experience who entered a sailing race around the globe back in the '60s. He planned to cheat and was radioing crazy locations well ahead of where he should've been ("I was heading West 30 days faster") When he realized he was found out he disappeared at sea. The music really drives home his mental state and isolation. This is one of the best biographical songs ever written.

[@Claude0]

Thanks!

[@trailovicluka6342]

Minor correction; he didn't plan to cheat (as in wanting to win dishonestly), the poor bastard didn't have a choice. He put his entire life savings and borrowed money (mortgaged his house etc.) into the construction of his boat, so he had to partake in the race, even though, come the race, he knew the boat wasn't well suited for that kind of trip. "Can't go on, can't go back" is a reference to his predicament. He planned to fake his positions, wait it out at sea, and to eventually turn back...make it look like he made the whole trip. Sadly, Donald went mad at some point after being stuck out in the open sea for 8 months. It's a sad story of ambition coupled with human tendency for tragedy. Here's a video about him and the trip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4eadnV8bbF0rZo

[@AlphaMachina]

I watched a documentary about this guy. Crazy story.

[@trailovicluka6342]

@@AlphaMachina yeah, right? There's a movie about him too, with Colin Firth, it's called The Mercy. It's a good movie, I recommend it.

[@AlphaMachina]

@@trailovicluka6342 I had no idea. I'm gonna check that out. Adding these guys to my GUNSHIP, Carpenter Brut, Caspro playlist.

[@rattatadrian]

can't believe i just found this song after 11 years, so unique and addictive

[@adikvet]

@@MauriceChavez353 do we know whay this song is not on spotify anymore?

[@MisterWillow]

There is something about this song that keeps me playing it again and again.

[@philosopher2king]

+Erwin Moller It's eerie, especially if you know the story behind the song (Donald Crowhurst). The song perfectly picks up a mind going through a mental breakdown.

[@MisterWillow]

+philosopher2king Thank you for that info. I wasn't aware of that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst

[@Brocalliguy]

Damn the fusion of that voice and the music,its just so mysterious.Glad i found this band.

[@LedfootFast]

This is my favorite track on Blood. For those of you new to O.S.I...you gotta check out both of their previous releases. You won't be disappointed!

[@NoNo-hb1lo]

I'll be gone now, either way that the wind blows I'll be back though, leave a light in the window When the waves die down, I'll be halfway round and I'll call you When the sun blocks out, hold the radio up to the phone I was dreaming I was heading west, thirty days faster Had a fever, woke up in a sweat, bailing out the water Can't go on Can't go back Can't go on... Can't go back Heard your voice coming through the noise Wrote it in the radio log Hurt my head wondering what you said So I threw it overboard Can't go on Can't go back Can't go on Can't go back Can't go on... Can't go back

[@MisterWillow]

I wasn't even hoping to find this awesome band. Being fan of Chroma Key, I'm so happy.

[@ELLINATHALIEKORRE]

wonderful.... can't stop listening to this...

[@AndrewDaddy]

Total drive down a highway, windows down, on a late summer night song.

[@shahabfatahnaeii6476]

preferably winter night

[@GazellePearl]

amazing song, my favourite since I bought the album, "can't go on, can't go back" KM knows how to write lyrics, so he does!

[@nu-metalfan2654]

This is a unique sound, it sounds like a mix of Nine Inch Nails, Porcupine Tree and Trip Hop music.

[@21Fixxxer]

never headrd of these guys...it feels great when you discover an awesome band like this!

[@NickG8420]

This song is so badass. I love returning to it.

[@lorononsanno]

I love this album.. I love also Akerfèldt in Stockholm..

[@MateuszKoscielny]

This Gavin's feel... oh my god, how good he is

[@samhhaincat2703]

Please just fill my entire brain with the drums at the end. And please recommend anything that feels like this. I love you all. I am very high.

[@SexyMEFFER]

Chroma Key, Porcupine Tree and my favorite, Four Stroke Baron. I forgot one. Earthside.

[@CptAHad]

Friend introduced me to them a few days ago. Now I can never go back.

[@gregoire4188]

have you gone back since ?

[@BillyCrawshrimp]

Doubtful

[@benonemusic]

They are both excellent...what makes it even better is that they have a fantastic chemistry.

[@berthold23150]

Great to have this band on tap in this mix. Must buy all the albums they made.

[@christopherdumais5585]

Great band with loads of talent!

[@seven_of_erra]

That undulating synth that starts picking up at 4:25 is an excellent touch

[@MichaelKnight71]

Reminds me of Porcupine tree, and Tool :) . First time hearing them

[@rustyshackleferd22]

How have I never heard this song until now. Fucking amazing.

[@nocturnal_antares]

Here from an old deadwing dork stream. Thank you, claw🙏🏼

[@ML-jk3sz]

Very good tune.

[@exxam1]

what a super song to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vivace679]

thanks for posting this fabulous track!

[@gudjonsveins]

@21Fixxxer Never heard of thesee guys? if you ckeck the members, it is a supergroup, with lineup changes, it has included 2 Fates Warning members, Kevin Moore of Dream Theatert and more, 2 Porcupine Tree members, Cynic bassist and Opeth frontman, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, so it is a pretty awesome supergroup!

[@simracingnoob1]

Gavin Harrison.....dam!

[@Davsuh]

I read that this song is based on Donald Crowhurst's death... Very interesting and intelligent. The tune itself catches the chaos that might've went on in Crowhurst

[@liquifex]

I love about people talk about the 'genius' of Kevin Moore...Meanwhile this band was formed and put together by Jim Matteos (The guitarist of Fates Warning). This was his project :-p

[@veldringr]

Pure awesomeness !!! Respect to them

[@fatanehchitsaz6284]

Amazing track

[@Hollyweird81]

All i knew before was the band name and the album covers, but...awesome music!!

DONT KNOW HOW I GOT HERE BUT DOES'NT MATTER NEVER HEARD THEM BEFORE AND WAS STUNED TO SEE GAVIN HARRISON'S IS PLAYING DRUMS NO WONDER I LIKE IT !

[@kaethetraumfahrt]

BEST. SONG. EVER.

[@TheAdam159]

I love the mix of electronica and prog metal that is OSI. Gavin is absolutely killer on this disc, as well, of course

[@Kecenaa]

MASTERPIECE

[@NAT3s]

@gudjonsveins while it was definitely a supergroup in the beginning, OSI is Kevin and Jim. They are the soul and write the core music... and the sound is largely Kevin's influence. He is amazing.

[@shanenw39]

i like the electronia/ rock fusion

[@Stefano.Martino83]

Shanen Way yes, i Love it and i miss this fusion Electronic / Rock in the metal scene today!

[@heavendreamful]

I have this album in my cd collection, is GREAT! Thanx for vid, add to my playlist :)

[@biez71]

GREAT GREAT SONG

[@AnaLaguna]

Always perfect

[@kingofnormania]

@MartinAlvito I agree. Although there are a few tracks (The Escape Artist, Radiologue, Blood) that can stand up against anything OSi have released, the album just doesn't have the complete flow that I would like. However, the high points, when they come, are quite wonderful.

[@neinstein-says]

have to thank Gavin Harrison for leading me here. awesome music.

[@diximae6184]

I love it, thx!!!

[@bassistemre]

Can anyone please tell me?! Why the hell is this song deleted from Spotify?!?!?!? :(

[@transcendedanal7307]

I had the same issue, forgot the name of the song too, so I spent like half an hour trying to google the lyrics I remembered. So glad I found it again though, such a good song

[@midnitehighways]

Same on other platforms. Record businessmen are evil bastards that don't care about music or the artists. The end.

[@jamesmaston12]

It's back on again thankfully.

[@bassistemre]

@@jamesmaston12 Yes!

[@3rdeye1983]

nice song, standard good by OSI

[@imtubing]

*anyone has the tabs for guitar and bassline? pls?*

[@xLucidNightmaresx]

I think that Gavin Harrison can make any song sound great, especially a song like this that has kind of a trip-hop style. His rhythms are relatively complex, which really adds a lot to the tracks and that is not all that common for a percussionist to add so much to a song without taking away from the other instruments/vocals.

[@devinalexandria497]

I don't know why but I always felt like these lyrics makes me feel like the guy is in a forest of nowhere...

[@thedudeabides]

Lost at sea....lost in a forest.....pretty close!

[@DeathStarLuke]

The lyrics are about Donald Crowhurst. He entered a sailing race around the world despite being an inexperienced sailor. He started late and was making terrible time and was under a lot of pressure to finish because of his investors. He began to falsify his reports, indicating that he was much further along than he actually was. Eventually he made land which would have immediately disqualified him. Instead of quitting and returning home, he went back out to sea and killed himself, supposedly by simply abandoning his boat and drowning. It's detailed in one of my favorite documentaries "Deep Water." "Can't go on, can't go back."

[@pashakosh]

wow so awesome......

[@swordpoint9]

Even a sane man who has seen combat understands this ! Implicit duality ....

[@Ranxxx400]

Ottawa rocks to OSI

[@simzed]

@Surasanji Ditto. I love all the stuff you just mentioned.

[@renerodrigues1343]

Muito bom de ouvir. Top

[@benmech]

Actually, Fates Warning is the backbone, since OSI is Jim Matheos's project.

[@shanenway3684]

I'd like to make a Industrial cover of this

[@mtabet02]

dream theater is the backbone of where this band came from, fates warning and PT are good, but not untouchable like DT

[@metalletam]

Hearing some Katatonia vibes here. I like it!

[@slavatoin8273]

Nailed it. Porcupine Tree and Katatonia for sure.

[@petercussion]

I waited for a long time this track!!

Why the fuck is it off Spotify mannn

[@rushchcick]

Wow....you are all big geeks, just like me. I found my people!

[@pitifruit]

insaneeeeeeee

[@benonemusic]

LOVE this song. I actually prefer Gavin's drumming on this song and for OSI in general..While MP comes up with great drum parts on the fly, GH's drumming seems more planned out (love the hip-hop kind of fill at 4:14 on this song) and I think it fits better with the OSI brand of songwriting.

[@biez71]

pshychoMoore, powerMatheos e techniqueHarrison and the MAGIC is done.

[@drunkhas]

I agree totally with you, Gavin here is not really different than in PT for example whereas mike involent in the songs was a total driving force, take The New Math for example or ShutDown, the drums were a huge part of the music. Again i'm not disminishing Harrison's work, i'm just giving my fair share of thoughts

[@TheXenProject]

Very similar style to The Pineapple Thief

[@dantess2693]

Awesome to see a TPT fan out there!

[@mjc71189]

I'm so glad OSI exist. No stupid pointless show-off solos. Just powerful melodies, deep dark tones, killer vocals. Kevin did not belong in DT. Glad he left he's a genius. Along with garrison and matheos of course ;)

[@robhalfordtate]

Alan Parsons project like. Very cool.

[@RonaldoFearsEboue]

All OSI's songs bore me but this is just genius.

[@lesclaypool0727]

I think every OSI music track is awesome!

[@m3bmuadib]

Guys, good news: OSI is currently working on their fourth album and Metal Blade debut for a late 2010 release. see you,

[@SuperJEB17]

This sounds like a cross between ( new) Fates Warning and Green Carnation . I like !

[@21Fixxxer]

@gudjonsveins yeah I know that now.I listen to all of these bands but when i first checked this song out I didnt know that.

[@andythegoat4552]

I was trying to type up ksi in KZbin but I accidentally typed up osi instead. Now I'm glad that I made that mistake

[@lesclaypool0727]

Rather Perfect Circle than Pure Reason R.!

[@BereGoar]

I'm afraid I cannot choose...

[@TheProtoflex]

+Nahomi González aww man, that APC 'By and Down' is so freakin' badass... Will have to check out Pure Reason REvolution, but my best guess is not much will top APC's unique sound. I'm not the biggest Maynard fan, but he is a great singer, I can't deny that.

[@mauriciomunoz9587]

Best song out of Blood, following it are Stockholm and the tittle track.

I have a question. I just can' understand a part of the lyrics. And I checked out the internet but I read different versions :D:D So please help me. the part is the following: I was dreaming i was headin' west thirty days faster had a fever woke up in a sweat ????????????????

[@CRadiusOfficial]

Imma go for a long shot here (since this is a guess) but maybe his reported positions were way ahead than where he could be (In the race). The fever and sweat might have to do with the mental breakdown that he had because of his situation. Hey buddy, 10 years later at least you got a reply. Happy Holidays!
