MADNESS ?? Touhou Progressive Classic 118

Title: The Dance of Eternity
Artist/Circle: t=NODE
Album: Channel†Node?
Originals: ??????1969 (Voyage 1969), ?????????? (Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke) & ???? ? Invisible Full Moon (Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon)

As I promised here’s more t=NODE, this time a medley of 3 IN themes from their latest album.

I advise to go with caution with this arrange, as the mood changes might not be in your cup of tea, or the instruments these guys are using here.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, t=NODE is practically a circle that surprised me big time, their older releases are plagued with some other mediocre songs but have some nice jewels (that Reisen arrange 2 videos ago), but these guys seriously surprised me big time in their latest 2 releases. This album is… a masterpiece. What these guys did here was combine classic arranges with a lot of “progressive” changes reminiscing a lot of big classical artists (Bach here, but there’s more). The album is actually supposed to be listened to as one big track (thus the almost unnoticeable part in the beginning that sounds like a previous song).
What I think t=NODE was going for in this album was something I’d categorize as “Progressive Classical” music if it existed, the sudden mood changing, the usage of a wide array of sounds at sudden moments, the fact that the whole album is supposed to somewhat tell a whole “story”.
Darn, I wonder why there’s not more stuff like this around.

Commenting on the arrange, all I have to say is that I’m speechless.
The organ solo starting from around 1:22 (and particularly 1:57) is one of the most amazing parts of the song, I’m surprised by how many arranges of Reisen’s theme use organs (the last one has an organ part too, if you guys didn’t realize it, and so did Kokuyasou’s arrange on Chaos’ channel). And, even if it’s slight, the usage of those choruses are killer

Another part of the arrange I like a lot is both at 3:15, when the piano shredding kicks in (I wonder who’s their pianist/keyboardist is, if it’s RD-Sounds I’ll go and give those guys a kiss, seriously, listen to the piano-work carefully, it’s done extremely well), and at 3:28 when the an electronic beat kicks in, followed by more organs, seriously, I find that part extremely badass. Any objections on the drums? I’ve gotten used to them, but they might scare some people away.
Lastly the violins, I think it’s perfect. The violin, the viola, every string instrument used in this arrange.
The very thought of combining Reisen’s theme with Voyage 1969 and Immortal Smoke is madness.

Last but not least, since I’ve got your ATTENTION, I wanted to ask you guys something:
Since I consider the piano one of the best instruments on the face of mankind I wanted to dedicate a set of 10 videos ranging from 121-130 dedicated to piano arranges. Not just ANY piano arranges, the good ones, listen to the piano arranges I’ve uploaded so far, if you like those then that’s what I want to feature. You guys should know which song is the one I want to dedicate the whole compilation to.
So, practically I’ll hold a vote, whoever wants the compilation to be held say so in the comment, whoever does not, say so in a comment.
Of course I could hold it regardless from the votes but that is not something I want to do, since this is not just my playlist, but it’s all of ours, you guys are as much of a part of Merlin as I am.

Thanks for watching!

Cliff Burton Tribute (Bass solo)

Clifford Lee “Cliff” Burton (February 10, 1962 — September 27, 1986) was an American musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the American thrash metal band Metallica. He was a great bass innovator, one of the earliest bass soloist.

My arrangement based on two Metallica`s songs: “To live is to die” (interlude), and tribute to Cliff played live in Seattle (1989) by Newsted, Hetfield and Hammet. Equipment: 7string Conklin, Boss Loop station, Zoom effect.

Requiesca in pace Cliff.
