Tool - Lateralus

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

read this link, it's about tool's lateralus album being written in some math sequence... fibbonaci or something heh

http://deepu.eroding.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2185

i'm going to give both new interpretations of the album a listen now, I'll post back with what I think.. getting goose bumps I am

nesthead

haha sounds great!! doesnt really surprise me in the slightest.

gonna listen to it in that sequence too!!

Töpher

Gonna have a read of it now,
Hardly surprising, even when ya look at how Danny's drums are set out, mathematically calculated and so on... he does similar with grooves, monster!

DiscoStu

hmmm.

I bet that the Spice Girls were inspired by Escher. There was no way that anything they did could have physically existed yet somehow it did.

Töpher

Read that now, altho the replies to it were nonsense, the original post is fantastic. A very interesting read, and has me planning to listen to the album like that when I go to bed tonight.

nesthead

arrrgghhh cant find my lateralus!!!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

listened to them both last night, only listened to 'the lateralus prophecy' once but i've listened to holy gift once or twice now, I love it

going to have to give the lateralusprophecy another try, but holy gift is just good

quank

i heard abhoot this ages ago

my friends is a massive tool fan and he told me it
i think you're supposed to arrange the album in a twiral arrangement or something
and youre supposed to edit out all the silences after the songs

then the whole album is one big ass song
didnt try it myself because i dunno how to edit out all the silences, but id say it would sound kewla bewla

i think its supposed to go in order like this:

Parabol
Parabola
Schism
Ticks And Leeches
Mantra
Lateralus
The Patient
Dispostion
Eon Blue Apocalypse
Reflection
The Grudge
Triad
Faaip de Oiad

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

that's one way, the lateralus prophecy

" 6,7,5,8,4,9,3,10,2,11,1,12,13 ("The Lateralus Prophecy")"

or "6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10 ("The Holy Gift")"

Holy gift is my fav so far, faiip de ooiad runs soo well into the grudge, haven't ripped it properly or edited out the silences between tracks yet.. but I will
. I will..

Creature

Very interesting stuff. I only wish I knew how to edit out the silences so I could do it for myself.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

cool edit pro? or some such audio editing tool

and you don't *need* the silences cut out, it's still pretty cool

Töpher

Working on it now as we speak, so far, 1400MB of uncompressed audio goodness! This better compress well, only got a 20GB HDD!!!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

what are you using to do it and where did you get it? (pm) heh

1400mb? what did you do.. you didn't just rip it to wav that'd only use 700 megs or so..

Töpher

Using Cool Edit Pro, selected file > open waveform > then the tracks 1 by 1, it did something to extract them itself. Did not save it as .ses file cuz would be 1700MB nearly, so exported as one big mp3! Beautiful it is! I may upload it to my netsoc space tomorrow and send you link if you wish.... No silences, everything plays together prefectly!

Töpher

Froma bout 18:45 onwards you can click here to hear the Holy Gift.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

don't have permission

Töpher

I spent ages uploading that! And cant figure out why its not working! Perhpas our netsoc have something against large files being downloaded (seeing as we used to host full games etc on our accounts...) I'll see if I can sort it out...

Is there not a "save" function on your Adobe reader?

dabhoys

****ing amazing the holy gift is. I must say that my massive respect for tool has gotten even bigger. Bring on the new album 2005 can't ****ing wait....

mr_angry

I love the stark-looking CD images in that book. I suppose if something's worth doing, its worth doing right!

loismustdie

just read that and it fried my brain, was cool hearing you talk about it and rearrange it but i need a spliif now

projectmayhem

i've read similar stuff but that was the best example so far. i love tool. there's a dvd rumoured for this year, and of course an album for either the end of this year or the beginning of next year

j0e9o

i was wondering if there is any band dvd's off tool out there i know about the music vid one but i would really like something with a bit more info on the band

i'm sure amazon has some unofficial stuff, but salival is really the only official dvd they have, though there is one in the works to be released later this year (supposidly)

Arucard

oh
my
god - i mean tool - i mean - meh, whats the difference

thats amazing, tool just got even cooler, which i didnt think was possible
i love how faaip de oiad runs into the grudge

tool - best band in the world

flogen

got my version all edited together, and there are some briilliant overlaps, such as parabola to schism, schism to ticks and leeches, the afore mentioned fiad to grudge, and i did some pretty decent overlaps for the rest, if i do say so myself

however, I havent really picked up on any running 'story' in the lyrics yet, am I missing something?? some of it seems to make sense together, but not all of it....

Flogen

ferdi

its a good album alright.

It's not so much a running story as a fluent idea of Maynard's thoughts on life/spiritualism, I think...
