I love being reminded of how there is so much great music out there that you never get exposed to unless you actively go looking for it. I have many friends who complain that music is so bad these days, and I keep telling them that they are just getting old and lazy and need to do the work 🙂 If you feel like some instrumental 3-piece Japanese prog metal, let me suggest _Asterism,_ with the songs _Dawn_ and _Church_ perhaps being the standout ones.
I would highly recommend listening to whole albums by him. Particularly Steamdome 2 and 3. They're composed as opera pieces or something and tell a powerful story. Gonna see him live with his band in a few weeks (no symphony orchestra this time, but probably a lot of improv). This song is the culmination of an hour of building and is even more impressive in that context. If you want to discover another amazing and unique group, try "Morgenrot" by "Herbert Pixner Project". They have a lot of amazing songs (although they are hidden among less impressive stuff). "Süd-ost" and "Breaking bad" are other good songs they have.
Right? I'm so glad I made the choice to take requests for all sorts of music, popular or not. Discovering and sharing music like this cements that decision as the right one.
This is the final song of a trilogy of instrumental albums. I have literally writen a space epic in my head that goes with the tracks so I'm a little biased to my story, but here is my rough take on it. The song/universe builds and builds until 09:35, after that I feels like everything is getting sucked into a swirling vortex moving faster and compressing the whole universe into a singularity. Then you hear a few basic notes/rules and it all ends/begins with a single vibrating string! The title reminds me of the Monolith from 2001: A space odyssey and the album is called Steamdome III: Beyond the end...
Great video! Subscribe button has been hit. Great to see someone who really knows what they're talking about. I really recommend you give a listen to Steamdome II: The Hypogean if you liked this track. The entire album is a fantastic experiment of layers, rhythm and detail, with a wonderful cinematic drama. I'm not asking for a video, just a recommendation from me.
As for the song itself, I think the idea you came to towards the end was very beautiful. My interpretation of a lot of Ola's work is to view them as little stories. Sometimes they are part of a bigger tale, other times not. I view Monolith as a little snipet of a story. The monolith and it's motif represents something massive and terrible. The very funky motif represents our protagonists and their successes. The sadder part represents their losses. And no matter how victorious and motivating the funk section gets, the monolith motif always comes out bigger and scarier. It is a nice companion piece to Devil Worm by Ola, which ends in victory for the little guy. The monolith is too monolithic and allconsuming. Enough rambling from me for now.

Much appreciation to Bryan for the ultra-competent musical dissection! Loving this channel!
Much appreciation to the guy who made this amazing stuff, sir!
And just a reminder: Douglas Adams' trilogy "Hitchiker's guide to the galaxy" lasted six volumes. No need for stopping at three...
Gotta agree with @HerrSint, massive props to you for making such a great work of art. And thanks for the compliment. It means a ton coming from you.
Guys, please listen more of Ola's work. Especially his later work, it is exquisite.

Wow, that was something else. Interesting surprises, infectious grooves, unique blend of styles.
Gorgeous! I'd have never heard this without your channel and life would be less full :)

was not expecting this and really loved it
