~~~~~~ magic in the waves, as soon as I touched them it leapt out at me, what a great surprise, gotta try this on their back catalog, try this out buds, not while standing up
oh i think Gemini and Cold Earth go together too if you bend one of them by 2st. Palace posy turns into a dance number at +6st and I recommend the rest at -6st
You got it, Sithlord. Play "come to dust" and "reach for the dead" on top of each-other, that's another good one. The beats even match up if you do it right. Such a beautiful gift from the bros, to make a bunch of pairs of twins.
At the end of the reach for the dead video, there are those two spheres that divide from the sun, while the original sphere looks like it's fading (dying?). At first I thought it was a reference to the trinity (yeah, I know, I know) but now seeing this, could it be that all of the twins are derived from the outliers (the "special" tracks) in form and/or structure?
I've also noticed in many of the tracks that themes that seem to follow each other either in unison or support and then suddenly change when one of the themes varies. I've thought a lot about how this (as well as other indicators such as how there are two separate "parts" to the songs, two columns of structure, seemingly two "sides" to the album, etc.) might be an insight to how the brothers are drifting apart. Constants are changing.
<3 well actually those few outliers probably belong with some of the other pairs, as harmonies, but maybe not... there's probably just two that don't go with anything else, further emphasizing the symbolism of the twins and presenting the relationship between chord and dischord, and the difference between the ordered and the simultaneous <3
It was stated in that interview the other day that "Gemini" and the closing track are palindromic, and I believe someone pointed out they share the exact tripling of notes somewhere. They also stated that "Come to Dust" is a musical reprise of "Reach For the Dead."
Interesting to see this is holding up, except for Gemini having a different key progression from the closing track.
