Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

no reviews have talked about the apparent instrumental segue between WFS and... I can't remember, but it feels like those are so rare for PJ to do (since Yield and Vitalogy?) I'd have mentioned it

This review called Upper Hand the centerpiece of the album.

Maybe because it's right in the center hehe

Touche Mike, touche!

there is a very small one in Gigaton - a glacier melt kind of sound. I forget where it is.

That's how I read it too. It's dead in the middle, not THE epitome track.

Interesting turn of phrase..very on the nose...Usually, when I hear "centerpiece" with regard to an album track, the connotation is typically referring to the emotional core or the apex.

I stumbled over it in the same way you did.
An odd choice of words, indeed.

Is that what they're called, segues?
I thought a segue happened when songs followed each other straight up without a pause, like Parabol into Parabola on Lateralus.
Interludes or intermissions is what I thought was the name for those too-short-or-weird-to-be-a-song pieces. Vitalogy seems full of them, and it made me love the album even more thanks to their presence.

I know you weren't directly addressing me, so apologies to Harmless, but, segue or interlude for those funny little pieces, usually.
I understand what you mean when one song segues directly into another, but, I would call something like the Tool example "gapless playback." Others may feel differently.

yeah those are the words I was looking for more than "segue" - although technically a segue is just a passage from one thing to another

I knew we would get one...great!

[Ms Harmless]

how would I watch that from the UK?

They usually put the interviews up on YouTube. I'm sure it will shared here as well.

There is a new DM filter though; it’s fun.

But no clip
