Back in the days i remember that it wasn't received as well as their earlier records. But even though it isn't as perfect as The Sham Mirrors, and while i prefer Garm over Vortex, time's a gentleman as always and people started to appreciate this phenomenal record more in recent years. This is Arcturus at their best, make no mistake about it.
I remember spending 30 minutes trying to understand what the fuck Hellhammer was playing there. I don't know shit about notation but what I gathered was this: Drums: 10x *1* 2 3 (snare hit on 1) then 1 *2* 3 1 *2* 3 4 (snare hits on the 2s) 3x basic 6/8 beat (1 2 3 *4* 5 6 with snare hit on 4) 1 2 *1* 2 3 *1* 2 3 *1* (snare hits on the 1s except for the first one) Then to the beginning: 10x *1* 2 3 (snare hit on 1) then 1 *2* 3 1 *2* 3 4 (snare hits on the 2s) 3x basic 6/8 beat (1 2 3 *4* 5 6 with snare hit on 4) (Not accounting kickdrum hits or the hi-hat openings.) And the guitar: 4x *1* 2 3 then 1 2 3 4 5 (accent on 1) -> The grouping takes 17 beats to finish, so the next grouping starts at one of HH's 3s, causing them to be offset by 1 beat. 4x *1* 2 3 then 1 2 3 4 5 (accent on 1) then some other stuff I'm too dumb to figure out at the moment. The chorus has some weird time signatures going on too.
"The first thing you should know about Sideshow Symphonies is that the rumors about its production quality (or lack thereof) are true. I appreciate the great dynamics, I really do, but even ignoring blatant mastering errors like an inconsistent volume level and a disconcerting click at the end of "Shipwrecked Frontieer Pioneers", the guitars just aren't prominent enough in the mix for the album to be very intense. Knut is one of metal's most underrated guitarists in my book, but that doesn't mean much when you can barely even hear the guy; he's shredding away like a pro in the aforementioned "Pioneer", but sadly, it's almost inaudibly buried beneath everything else." taken from a review on metal-archives I still enjoy this album but it desperately needs a remaster/remix in order to allow the guitars to carry it since the keyboards are not the driving force of the album (unlike 'The Sham Mirrors' for example) even a fan-made one would be appreciated.
Try latter-day ulver (another one of garm's bands), "william blake" stuff and after. The earlier stuff is much like arcturus' early stuff... black metal :)
One of the most underrated bands..
One of the best arcturus records
"I shop some new parts
Re plugged and charged
I head towards the stars
Knowing that this trip
Will be my last slip"
Really emotional & deep...
that one dislike comes from Shagrath
Mechanical shutdown due to reactorcore meltdown
And outdated parts collapsed and discharged
Autopilot on emergency power from
Random fuel devoured
Red alert sirens sighing
Rusty pipelines dying
Empty hull shatter into cold dark matter
Unknownspacepioneer the end draws near
What once was acrobatically flying
Is now burnt out and dying
Now that I am shipwrecked
A piece of shit falling
Through space and time
Moaning oh why oh why did not I
Just stop in time
Knowing the answer I am dirty as a cancer
Once a virus like me is set free
Old grim flashes his grin
And violently introduces
A shortcut for loosers
Drop all illusions as I pop the next fuse in confusion
Transvesting the mind evolving past mankind
Unknownspaceadorer toxicwasteexplorer
Lost in free will time stand still
Full front on
Drifting here in the outer rim
As a piece of spacejunk
No valuables within
A scraphead of sin
Too much acid in these batteries
Leaking out its filthy grease
Disband all current settings to standard default
Fall and arise you diamond of lies
You know what is wise
Fire or ice
That's when I find
Hyperspace-central-divine
A pitstopmaintenance hall for the mind
Satanic protectors of my kind
I shop some new parts
Re plugged and charged
I head towards the stars
Knowing that this trip
Will be my last slip

The album is great as it is
4:15
¿Vortex?
Yes in deed👍👍
are there any bands that only do music like the part at 3:20? really want to find something moody and spacey.

"I shop some new parts" - what does it mean? Amazon?
only one dislike. haha!
