Ayreon - Isolation

[jiinxykid]

This is fucking flawless.

[Mythification]

Great album! :)

[XxSIrEchaelxX]

@BEPhyperscooter Marcella Bovio does the voice for "Wife". ;)

[BEPhyperscooter]

the woman in this song is great, which one is it though. i know there are two

[MuikuliWander]

@BEPhyperscooter @BEPhyperscooter But the woman singing in this song (4.30 forwards) is the amazing Heather Findlay of formerly Mostly Autumn and now solo career. Recommended if you like her parts on this.

The chorus, on the other hand, is done by Irene Jansen, the sister of the better known vocalist Floor Jansen.

Blue Murder-front man of the video " We all fall down", in my faves list. He has to go to Roland Grapow fast! He needs Callisto, Jorn & Abel & Arjen..........oh its painful......watch Sweden!!

[sarevokmaster321]

so hypnotic

[Underworldisis1]

From there to Michael, Metatron, & Gabriel & Dracula's immediate clan. This is just the tip of the iceburg..............ask Vile Valo or London After Midnight's front man. i am nose diving.......

[Underworldisis1]

I don't know what to do. Family feud & traitor within so many paths none left! I hate to ask of because it is not ideal to betray. It may be a long chase of trail to preserve all we have left. It may enlighten or be painful. You must seek out Yeshua & Lucifer for now maybe Satan & Christ next.........

[Divonexian]

@ell3y I can do that!

[ell3y]

Hey Divonexian... Could you please put a number on the songs to tell which one's the first, second .. and last? :) please :)

[Divonexian]

@ell3y I couldn't bother changing the name on every song, so instead I created a playlist and added the songs in the correct track order. You can find the list link in your inbox!

[ell3y]

@Divonexian Couldn't you just go to every description and write "This is the "?"'th song from the album The Human Equation? :) Couldn't be much easier :p

@azofeifa I love you man.

@ell3y my pleasure man!

[Underworldisis1]

To appreciate this particular piece it is best listened to by stopping all distractions & noise & closing your eyes & feeling the tonality. Relax, turn out the lights & listen .The sound has more impact & meaning that way.

[Underworldisis1]

This really is a musical masterpiece in that Arjen can mix so well & take such variety & do hard transitions smoothly. It would be a dream of mine to take Arjen to Von's studio in Belgium to meet Von & Paul from Luxembourg (sp?). I'd like to take along a few other artists & write myself seriously silly & play at vocals. I so wish I remembered how to play piano :( :(. I haven't spoken to Von in decades. My supposed 1/2 brother. I luv him.

[Underworldisis1]

Let artists submit tracks to you to rework this?Chuck or honor all the same in muscial finesse & fine tuning...

[Underworldisis1]

Yeah Steely Dan is the best @ that & I think a Nazgul too?? Missing link in my memory playing around as musical artist that really had a special nitche.

[Underworldisis1]

@7:09 I would lower the guitar half octave to a full octave & I'd use percussion cymbals higher & lighter.....maybe a light high jazz riff?

[Underworldisis1]

@4:11 is a perfect place to add wooden & orchestra flutes.....

[Underworldisis1]

Then what if we use a delay with Kate Bush's voice in the off meter?

[Underworldisis1]

Ok Arjen's lead in what if we layer his own voice & use a delay????

[Underworldisis1]

@1:08 I am thinking of really heavy electric deep bass & guitar strung low. Its all about blending & mesh. It takes multi-faceted artist that go out on a limb until we get the masterpiece. This is great but to me its a rough draft, I feel so much more....

[Underworldisis1]

I have potential ideas for a video...maybe?

[ell3y]

@Underworldisis1 Tell me about it...

[Underworldisis1]

I mean a very rich sound. Maybe a accoustic harp or two. A pipe organ more dark to level out 1:40.

[Underworldisis1]

I mean its experimental but I hear 2 violins & I think I may have the ones...one accoustic & one electric. One accoustic bass, more accoustic piano. More bass male vocals of tonation. More soprano head tones & rich alto. Possible flutes?

[Underworldisis1]

Hear** opps. I mean maybe a remix or two over time. I hear like heavy orchestrated & lead vocals & choir behind it. Epic & unconventional....

[Underworldisis1]

Holy crap I love this but I want to remix this adding layers & seeing if certain of my fave artists are scraped or added. Just the artistic denomination... I here this Epic sound & much more comples & maybe a video. Who cares how long it takes?

[Underworldisis1]

Wow love the depth of emotion & layering of this song. Not to mention the soulful message......sweet!!

[dub0vsky]

vocals kind of remind me of Van der Graaf

[Miunni]

I seriously can't belive I haven't known this before

[amarantaremedios]

You've been deserted, everyone has left you

[IrvineFFviii]

Ayeron dont have a standard singer. Its a project with many famous singers and musicians from other bands!

[mystiquescinta]

I only recognized Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth.

[firstwakedown]

Singer? OMG Jame Labrie!! :P :)

[Andorbolt]

Who are the singers??

[FzNd]

@Andorbolt

James Labrie (Dream Theater)

Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)

Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine)

Irene Jansen (also featured on Star One. Sister of Floor Jansen from After Forever - similar voice :))

Magnus Ekwall (The Quill)

Heather Findlay (Mostly Autumn)

are the ones in this song. plenty more on the rest of the album :)

[Ghostalic]

wow first time i heard a song about Ayreon nice song first of all..i love the vocalists...sweet :D

[MusicMarried]

One of the highlights of the album! love the conversations between eric clayton and james labrie! and then the catchy choros :)

[2wall2of2numbers2]

Totally agree. Sucks that Eric Clayton is dying, though. I can't get enough of his material since I discovered him through Ayreon.

[vlado1306]

Well, i dont think Eric is actually dying. He just recently made a video stating he is actually doing well, despite of his fragile health. Hope he recovers soon..

[senorvolasco]

Haha at first I was like Eric Clapton is dying??

[klickBG]

@2wall2of2numbers2 from what ?!?! he is dying ?!?! i first heared him in Saviour Machine, his voice overwhelmed me, years later i heard the Human Equation and i was sure that this was his voice but today i learned his name :D

[acsel96]

mmm no words hahaha its impresionant hahahaha yeah great song

[atomicrah]

/signed

[Divonexian]

Thanks for ur reply ;o)

[grindfuck3r]

james la brie from dream theater and mikael akerfeldt from opeth are the best

[FIndelCOB]

Hell Yeah !!

Mikael's voice is fear !!

hahahaha

[PainlessSoul]

One of my favorite songs on this album :)

[artemortis]

How is it possible to have a favorite song...I LOVE all them...every single song is the best and my fav

[PainlessSoul]

Yeah agree, all the songs - albums, by Arjen. Is fucking AWESOME!

[Lilindey]

Each song is a part of the whole story. You put one away and it doesn't make any sense anymore. That album is fucking great, damn ! Feel like crying each time I'm listening.

Thanks for posting the whole Human Equation on youtube, I'm making some of my friends discovering this pearl, thanks to your initiative.

Music is great, lyrics are brillant, and the singers wonderful... and I'm so not impartial but it's okay.

[Fight4YourFeelings]

@Lilindey

Well it does make sense the individual part... But it's from another perspective... and that IS what makes this album astonishing...

[artemortis]

Indeed :) I even like the live version with Marcela Bovio on the Stream Of Passion/Ayreon concert :)

[guitarboss8]

Agreed... I also tried to choos the best three, but they all were AMAZING. even Day One:Vigil,
