Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Why do you suggest it was Tron that inspired them? They might have gotten into Synthwave/New Retrowave. I don’t know much about synthwave. I just know it bears a strong resemblance to the Tron soundtrack which I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's a D3, I seriously doubt Matt can hit a D2. lol my bad I sing rather low so I never imagine D2 to be hard to achieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exx452 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 When I heard "The Void" again today, I thought that at about 3:00 an end like "Muscle Museum" would have been cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man_In_Showbiz Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 There are so many layers and aspects of this song to enjoy. I love how Matt delivers a different vocal tone for each chorus. The soft strings, the ominous synths and drums, beautiful piano and those wub wubs. Just a brilliant song and the acoustic version is equally great. It's getting up there with Exo:Overture as my favourite slow muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 I still like this song, but it feels a bit flat all the way through. Especially the first couple choruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 where in a live setlist is this going to fit? globalist positioning and/or perhaps first encore. seems those are really the only logical spots. every other option seems like a poor choice.

New Born Lee Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Perturbator is pretty easy to get into, try his Dangerous Days album. I was addicted to Raw Power for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 do any of you out there who plays keys know what chord is played at 2:05 and again at 2:18/19? it's either just a very odd chord...or a mistake repeated. my ears are pretty good, but i can't figure it out. there's also something wonky going on at 2:15. another RBS-like piano-playing flub that matt decided to run with and keep on the recording? maybe will have to wait until i obtain the sheet music to find out.

Spectrum IV Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It’s an EbMaj7 in the acoustic version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frutiger75 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 It’s an EbMaj7 in the acoustic version. you are probably onto something. it just sounds weird to me in a lower octave for some reason. really weird. ...which is why matt probably picked it. on the other hand, elton wrote some of his better (stranger/best) material in that key, so that prob explains why i latched onto it for some strange reason. i still think something wonky is going on at 2:15. sorry to get so technical in this thread all of a sudden. think i'll move into the tab board hereafter on this front.

Spectrum IV Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) I’m not hearing anything too weird at 2:15, it’s descending Eb-D-C octaves in bass possibly with a fifth being played. Then the chords follow the ascending bass line Cm - Eb(Maj7) - two bars of Gm. If it kept climbing to a Bb, we’d have Undisclosed Desires. Also the chord there is Eb, but the song is in G minor, where Eb is the VI chord. The general chord progression includes D7 and D7b9 chords with the F# note borrowed from G harmonic minor. There’s also a descending Csus - C - Cm section on “these delusions” with an E natural borrowed from G Dorian (or F major). We can talk about this here, it’s perfectly on-topic.

frutiger75 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 yeah, i know it’s in G minor; just saying that i suppose my ears perked up when those chords come in. as for 2:15, what you said all makes sense. maybe it’s literally a matter of when matt’s fingers actually hits the keys which makes for an interesting shift.

Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Matt should do string arrangements for other projects on the side, and a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
