What's so neat about it is that it's complex, but it doesn't feel busy. There are hundreds of 10 minute songs that feel extremely cluttered and busy (I.e. Dream theater, or almost any 70s progressive epic.) few have ever matched this when it comes to really long songs!

A lot of that was on the sound engineering. A few of the mics/instruments were turned down for the fade. But still, it's a really cool and unusual thing to see happen live, for sure.
@braidensutton81932 жыл бұрын
As a live sound engineer, I appreciate the cred, but that wasn’t an engineer, these guys are professional at a level us mere mortals cannot comprehend. I’ve seen them live 3 times and know a guy who has mixed them. They are or were, one of the easiest groups to mix because of how perfect they sound already. Which is very rare. They have mastered dynamic control as a whole group.
@braidensutton81932 жыл бұрын
And on a side note, listen to the fade out. At the end of it you can hear Chris Thile drop a pretty clear “sss” if the mics were turned down something like that with him backing away from the mic wouldn’t have come through louder than the point they ended the fade. Especially with vocal compression and a high pass filter on the channel.

Thank God, these guys came together somehow! I can not express, how touching this music is. I´ve always been looking for bands that are as creative, as virtuoso, as open-minded to any kind of music style, as inventive and demanding concerning composition or arrangement and so good at playing together and creating atmospheres you can not withdraw from - like one big creature with five arms :-D They really fill a gap in the music landscape. They also prove that the more a musician listens to several music styles, the more inspired they are. They´re a real alternative to people who are tired of the radio...at least, the one in my area doesn´t offer any versatility.

Years later, only a couple of days ago I stumbled across this video and decided to finally give them a listen, especially since I outgrew my metal elitist phase 3 years ago and I love discovering all sorts of new music. I love this! It blew my mind, especially the final part of the song, it's so beautiful. I can't believe I missed on this for the last few years.
