- The frog that ribbits* in time on Hypergeek

- the "ding-ding-ding" on Vampolka, that just cracks me up every time...

Any more?



* Is it a word? It is now!

I love the part of Gaia where the guitar goes damn low.
Just before the solo part.

And the drum beat starting at 1:15 in Sunset is amazing.
Well, not actually the beat. I'm talking about the cymbals.
Or something like that.
That beat just scratches the itch.

the rhythmic vocal part goind "da-da-da da-da-da-da-da-da-da..." in pixillate.

all of the quirky little vocals in 'Vampolka'.

(again) - the way the arco double bass was played/mixed on 'Let It Roll'. it swells and falls in all the right places.

the holler in 'Hypergeek' after the stick hits (or, if you're following Devin's 'conductor' parallel, when he taps the stand to get the "orchestra's" attention).

the bluegrass breakdown in 'Triumph' never ceases to put a smile on my face.

I remember the frogs and the birds n stuff the first time i heard it at my little spot. fucking awesome

really added to the experience

Also, I don't know if you can call this an amazing detail.. but it's kinda of odd.

I noticed that in Triumph that there is a low mumble throughout almost the entire first part of the song. Pretty interesting if you ask me.

I've always noticed interesting things like that in Devins music. I hear alot of stuff in the background of the music and I know it's there but I can't quite make out what it exactly is. I love it

Yeah, that low mumbling in the beginning of Triumph reminds me of something on Steve Vais "Sex & Religion", near the end, I think it's in the 'birth song' (Deep down into the pain), almost the same thing.

Word.

Pretty much everything on Hypergeek amazes me. It's the coolest instrumental song EVER!

The awesome vocals at the very beginning of Pixellate, which return again later on, in the background.

The rooster in Hypergeek that kicks off the main melody.

The pole/stick hit then "EYY!!" in Hypergeek.

Bluegrass stomp in Triumph.

The "HEY"s during the breakdown standard metal riffs in Vampira.

"OOH YEAH, OOH YEAH, OOH YEAH, OOH YEAH, OOH YEEEEEAH!!!" James Hetfield-esque part in Sunshine and Happiness. And the ?cow? sounding guy in the end of the song.

I love those vocals. It's not Dev though, is it?

its not a detail but i love the end of mental tan and intro to gaia, the transition is awesome and its really rocking

Artwise, I love the little butterfly on the backside of the booklet.

Seconded.
Gaia sounds a hundred times better when listened with mental tan and especially its outro .
