I liked the Turboslash one, the sound was relaxing.

Rousseau (the pianist) said each frame took 2 minutes to render, so almost 3 weeks of work, besides the playing.

Lyrics (for those who are curious)

KALTE WINDE (Cold Winds)

Viel zu schön war dieser Herbst (Too beautiful was this autumn)
der Himmel blau in blau, (The sky blue on blue)
die Sonne ewig strahlend (The Sun eternally gleaming)
und so wollte ich nicht seh'n (and so I didn't want to see)
den Schatten der darunter lag. (the shadow that lay thereunder)

Nun zieh'n Nebel um das Haus (Now fogs are growing around the house)
und decken alles zu (And cover everything)
mir ihren grauen Laken. (With their grey sheets)
Dunkelheit schleicht sich heran (Darkness is sneaking up)
so schwarz, dass ich es kaum ertrag. (So black that I can hardly bare it)

Kalte Winde weh'n durch's Haus - (Cold winds blow through the house)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Alle Feuer gingen aus - (All fires extinguished)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Leis' legt das Jahr sich zur Ruh' - (Silently the year settles down)
kalte Winde weh'n - (Cold winds blow)
bald schon deckt Schnee alles zu. (Soon snow will cover everything)

Immerfort dreht sich das Rad (On and on the wheel is turning)
auf buntes Laub fällt Schnee, (Onto colourful leaves falls snow)
auf Liebe folgt vergessen. (After love comes oblivion)
Blumen welken rasch dahin (Flowers wither quickly)
die einmal blühten dort im Haus. (That once bloomed there in the house)

Eben noch vom Glück berauscht (Intoxicated with joy)
entgleitet Stück für Stück (Slipping away bit by bit)
der letzte Hauch von Wärme. (The last breeze of warmth)
Dunkelheit schleicht sich heran (Darkness is sneaking up)
so schwarz, dass ich es kaum ertrag. (So black that can hardly bare it)
So schwarz, dass ich es kaum ertragen kann! (So black that I almost can't stand it)

Kalte Winde weh'n durch's Haus - (Cold winds blow through the house)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Alle Feuer gingen aus - (All fires extinguished)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Leis' legt das Jahr sich zur Ruh' - (Silently the year settles down)
kalte Winde weh'n - (Cold winds blow)
bald schon deckt Schnee alles zu. (Soon snow will cover everything)

Schwarz und kalt sind alle Zimmer (Black and cold are all rooms)
fern der Frühlingssonne Licht. (Far from spring's sun)
Erst dein Kuss, so voller Wärme (Only your kiss, full of warmth)
bringt mir alles Glück zurück! (Brings me back all joy)

Kalte Winde weh'n durch's Haus - (Cold winds blow through the house)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Alle Feuer gingen aus - (All fires extinguished)
Was kann ich tun? Was kann ich tun? (What can I do? What can I do?)
Leis' legt das Jahr sich zur Ruh' - (Silently the year settles down)
kalte Winde weh'n - (Cold winds blow)
bald schon deckt Schnee alles zu. (Soon snow will cover everything)

Interesting how he panned the sound to different sides (for those who wear headphones anyway). I don't know if it is so noticeable in stereo speakers, I imagine it depends on the setup.

Lyrics for anyone curious.

Quem um dia irá dizer Who will ever say that
Que existe razão there is reason
Nas coisas feitas pelo coração? in matters of the heart?
E quem irá dizer And who will ever say
Que não existe razão? that there is no reason?

Eduardo abriu os olhos, mas não quis se levantar Eduardo opened his eyes, but he didn't want to get up
Ficou deitado e viu que horas eram He stayed in bed, and saw what time it was
Enquanto Mônica tomava um conhaque While Monica was having a cognac
No outro canto da cidade, como eles disseram at the other side of town, like they both said.

Eduardo e Mônica um dia se encontraram sem querer Eduardo and Monica one day met by chance
E conversaram muito mesmo pra tentar se conhecer And they talked a lot to get to know each other
Um carinha do cursinho do Eduardo que disse A guy from Eduardo's class said:
"Tem uma festa legal, e a gente quer se divertir" "There's cool party, we wanna have fun."

Festa estranha, com gente esquisita "Weird party, weird people"
"Eu não 'to legal, não aguento mais birita" "I'm not feeling great, I've had enough of drinking"
E a Mônica riu, e quis saber um pouco mais and Monica laughed and wanted to know more about
Sobre o boyzinho que tentava impressionar the guy who was trying to impress her.
E o Eduardo, meio tonto, só pensava em ir pra casa And Eduardo, a little dizzy, just wanted to go home.
"É quase duas, eu vou me ferrar" "It's almost two, I'm gonna get into trouble."

Eduardo e Mônica trocaram telefone Eduardo and Monica exchanged phone numbers
Depois telefonaram e decidiram se encontrar Later they called each other, and decided to meet up
O Eduardo sugeriu uma lanchonete Eduardo suggested a snack bar
Mas a Mônica queria ver o filme do Godard But Monica wanted to see a Godard's film.

Se encontraram então no parque da cidade So, they met in a park in town
A Mônica de moto e o Eduardo de camelo Monica came by motorcycle and Eduardo by bicycle
O Eduardo achou estranho, e melhor não comentar Eduardo though it was a bit strange
Mas a menina tinha tinta no cabelo that the girld had dye in her hair.

Eduardo e Mônica era nada parecidos Eduardo and Monica were very different
Ela era de Leão e ele tinha dezesseis She was a Leo and he was 16 years old.
Ela fazia Medicina e falava alemão She was studying Medicine and spoke German
E ele ainda nas aulinhas de inglês and he was still still learning English.

Ela gostava do Bandeira e do Bauhaus She liked Bandeira, Bauhaus
De Van Gogh e dos Mutantes, de Caetano e de Rimbaud Van Gogh, Os Mutantes, Caetano and Rimbaud
E o Eduardo gostava de novela And Eduardo liked soap-operas
E jogava futebol de botão com seu avô and used to play button soccer with his grandfather

Ela falava coisas sobre o Planalto Central She talked about the Brasilia
Também magia e meditação And also about magic and meditation
E o Eduardo ainda tava no esquema "escola, cinema And Eduardo was still stuck in a
Clube, televisão" "school-movies-clubs-TV"

E mesmo com tudo diferente, veio mesmo, de repente And despite all this difference, suddenly,
Uma vontade de se ver They got an urge to see each other
E os dois se encontravam todo dia Then, they would meet everyday
E a vontade crescia, como tinha de ser And the desire grew stronger as it's supposed to be

Eduardo e Mônica fizeram natação, fotografia Eduardo and Monica took classes of swimming, photography
Teatro, artesanato, e foram viajar Acting, handcrafting and decided to go traveling
A Mônica explicava pro Eduardo Monica used to explain to to Eduardo
Coisas sobre o céu, a terra, a água e o ar things about sky, Earth, the water and the air.

Ele aprendeu a beber, deixou o cabelo crescer He learned how to drink, grew his hair
E decidiu trabalhar And decided to work
E ela se formou no mesmo mês And she graduated on the same month
Que ele passou no vestibular that he passed his entrance exam.

E os dois comemoraram juntos And they celebrate together
E também brigaram juntos, muitas vezes depois And also argued together, many times later
E todo mundo diz que ele completa ela And everybody says he completes her
E vice-versa, que nem feijão com arroz and vice-versa Like beans and rice

Construíram uma casa há uns dois anos atrás They built a house about two years ago
Mais ou menos quando os gêmeos vieram About the time when the twins were born
Batalharam grana, seguraram legal And they tried hard to make some money, they managed ok
A barra mais pesada que tiveram The hardest time they went through

Eduardo e Mônica voltaram pra Brasília Eduardo and Monica have come back to Brasilia
E a nossa amizade dá saudade no verão And, every summer, I miss our friendship
Só que nessas férias, não vão viajar But they won't be going away on holiday this year
Porque o filhinho do Eduardo 'tá de recuperação Because Eduardo's little has to do summer school

E quem um dia irá dizer Who will ever say that
Que existe razão the there is reason
Nas coisas feitas pelo coração? in matters of the heart
E quem irá dizer And who will ever say
Que não existe razão! that there is no reason?

Hm, I never heard this band before (Blackbriar), I like the melody in this song. I searched the vocalist name (Zora Cock), her voice (tonality/vibrato) actually reminded me of the singer/composer Béatrice Martin, known as Coeur de Pirate. I know about her because of the game Child of Light, the last song on the album is called Off to Sleep, there is a live version:

Swallow The Sun - Cathedral Walls ft. Anette Olzon

Holy **** that double kick on the drums at 4:40. I almost dropped the song when he started to scream.

Oh, now that I saw Kai sitting there xD.

I never heard the original version, so I decided to check it out. What a weird videoclip

Ayreon is so hit or miss for me. I really liked some songs off the Human Equation. The guy is obviously hugely talented musician, but some of his stuff I feel is just so unintentionally cheesy. Maybe that's just expected with that muscial theatre kinda style

Like this one below, I just can't get through, I cringe so badly watching it (yet here I'm posting it). Maybe I need to be more open minded.

the original is one of my all time favs and yes the vids from that era are often a bit strange.
