      That's why among her peers, no one considers her a Diva and she is as far as I can tell, well liked by most of them. She puts the performance before herself and doesn't make it all about her. It's also why most of the other vocalists are willing to perform duets with her.

    This is a great performance, but my favorite thing about it is the way the two ladies interact on stage. There's so much respect and affection here (like that head bump at 4:55), where the normal expectation is that they would be competitive with each other. It's so nice when you learn that the artists whose music you love are also nice people.

    • @Immortall1408
      @Immortall1408 3 года назад +1

      They usually comment on this song after three Nightwish songs and they focus on what they are familiar with, I suppose. I would probably just add to Chase´s assesment of their individual timbres that Simone is a mezzo-soprano while Floor is a soprano, which is something that allows Floor to reach higher notes with much more ease. But I really like Simone´s timbre when she goes lower with her voice. I think she has not used it yet in Chase´s reactions.

    Hi Chase,
    I am not aware of any official music education of Simone, but she started her music education of with flute, stopped with that at age 12, followed by jazz and pop lessons, and then hearing Nightwish's Oceanborn she went into classical. The latter was at age 15 :). She is considered to be a mezzo-soprano, while Floor is considered to be a full soprano.
    To me it looks and sounds like singing is easier for Floor than for Simone, but I may be completely wrong on that, as a total non-expert. Simone's singing is great, however.
    Interesting tidbit is that both originate from the south of the Netherlands (as do I incidentally, but I can't sing at all :)). And they are very good friends.
    Thank you for your, as usual, marvelous, insightful and educational reaction!
    Warm regards, Wim

I think you would really enjoy their work; so sad they're under-rated. People hardly react to their music. I recommend the following songs from them: Follow in the cry, Yield to temptation, Pledge of allegiance pt 1, Digital Deceit, Energize me, Victim of choice, Sins of idealism (gosh there's so many.

      I guess the issue with AF not being requested more is that the band split up so long ago. It did not benefit from additional 10 years (or more) of promotion to audiences and largely not being in the public eye. The quality of music has little to do with it, in my opinion. Thankfully, it still benefits from being connected to Mark and Floor and there are some reactions. :-)

      ​@@RandallHidalgoS21allas96 I think they're both awesome, and my opinion goes back and forth between which one I prefer. After Forever reminds me more of a blend of Epica and Within Temptation for some reason, maybe it's the production. ReVamp is awesome too, they're just harder to describe IMO I'd say they're more intense, sometimes they remind me of a darker Nightwish but usually it's something totally different, a bit heavier. Both bands are awesome though, not that it's a surprise, anything Floor touches turns to gold!

    LOL everyone needs a hard reboot after listening to this. Floor and Simone? Come on man...#1 and #2 in my personal list of best female vocalists. I love how the harmonize, I love the fact that they are good friends, I love that they have so much passion for what they do and are both such sweet, down to earth "real" people in real life. Then you have the band members themselves.....c'mon, have you seen a tighter group of musicians? Okay, maybe Nightiwsh, but really they are both so good, why would you choose right? :-)
    This song is an absolute masterpiece. That chorus is burned into my brain, and now finally THE Mr. Carneson has got around to giving us his excellent break down and reaction? I was sitting here shouting at my monitor "GO BACK TO THE START!!! THATS WHAT WE DO AROUND HERE !!!" Ok this day CAN'T get any better! Cheers sir!

I would love to see you react to Epica - Chasing the Dragon! Also more Delain would be amazing, their latest album Apocalypse & Chill is fantastic. Burning Bridges or We Had Everything are great songs from that album.

    "The Divine Conspiracy" was my first Epica record. My dive into this genre had been a few months before with After Forever, and that album re-aligned all my neural connections and put me into metal grounds, so i still have a crush on its songs. Yet, when this show happened i was completely blown away.
    Not only they managed to play live with a frigging orchestra and record it flawlessly (engineers ftw); they had Floor the metal godess singing along. I hope you can get hands on the Retrospect DVD some day. It's an impressive masterpiece.
    Once this pandemic is over, i'm all in for a series of reactions of "Tank & Chase". It even has a ring to it, right? Like an 80's series.

    I was trying to add up the number of channels they must have been running to that mixing desk - the orchestra is 70-piece, the mixed voice choir has to be at least 8 per section (I can hear the bass, baritone and tenor male parts, so probably split tenors with 4 male sections, but I'm less certain of the ladies parts - probably the same splits but different names and higher) - and then all the mics and band instruments, including one on each drum. I think it would be as tight as a ducks ass getting that lot into 150 channels.
    So yeah HUGE shout out to the audio engineers. The must've had an early breakfast to start soundcheck in order to be ready for the evening concert. Well worth it though - the results are spectacular!
    Simone and Floor's voices though! - the first tie I heard this piece I felt like going outside for a cigarette afterwards (and I quit over 3 years ago). The harmonies have the same feel as Delibes' famous duet from the opera Lakmé, The Flower Duet ("Sous le dôme épais"). The eastern theme is present in that too - it is set in India. [trivia] I believe Lakmé is the only opera to have a fashion brand named after it, and in an odd coincidence, their board chairperson for the first 46 years of existence is named Simone [/Trivia].
    Classical voice training does include fast and silent breathing, so you rarely hear either Simone or Floor take a breath, and both have the lungs of some species of whale.
    Oh, and Simone was slightly restrained in her headbanging as she is 3 months pregnant in this show.

      @@dc1925 I figured that there must be some kind of system like that in use, probably computer-based, which would allow mixing to be grouped, but it still doesn't remove the need to check each individual channel and balance it within the group it is assigned to. Every connection and cable has the potential for a problem and with that many, there are bound to be a few duds, and of course, you still have to balance them within the group or even sub-group before presenting the output to the next level up the tree, rinse and repeat at that level, then present the whole set to a manageable scale console. You gain in manageability during the event, but it still needs a lot of setup and testing.
      Last time I did anything like that was when it was all done with physical knobs and sliders with purely analogue technology and our 32 channel board (at my church) was considered studio-grade - yeah, I'm that old (it helps to live in the birthplace of electronics, with many members working in that industry and able to build it from scrap-bin or end-of-project components donated from work, and a new-build where we could have the hard wiring up to a triple glazed mixing room looking out over the main sanctuary). In addition to real-time amplification and relaying to the creche and other rooms as necessary, we recorded all services for the housebound at quality onto quarter-inch, with (frustratingly) a pair of recorders needed to last a full service (and a third as hot-spare). then it was edited some to get it under 90-minutes and mixed down from there to compact cassette and duplicated. from one master to 10 at a time (again, built by members) at 4x speed in a single pass (both sides of the cassette tape done together, so effectively 8x speed into 10 cassettes at a time) for distribution the following day. At 6 minutes for 10 cassettes, we could produce them pretty fast, by the standards of the day.

They are the top in Symphonic Metal, together with a few others of course, and first of all, they are professionals with a deep respect and knowledge of each other's capabilities - so they enhance each other, to make the ultimate result - because music is their passion and life.
