I agree with all your messages : SuIN is simply incredible, fantastic, and so on...
Edgar proves that music can describe anything, if you have enough talent to "translate" events, thoughts and emotions into notes. How is Edgar capable of showing us the two atomic explosions, and in two very different ways ? It's really impressive...
I think the first bomb is seen "from outside", I mean from the point of view of the entire nation, feeling the horror and absurdity of it. But the second bomb is almost seen "from inside", from the point of view of the people who saw it in the sky, then the winds arrived and destroyed everything. Maybe it's Ayumi seeing it... These tracks go really farther than music.
Ok the Dante Trilogy may not be to everyone's taste but to say that Inferno and Paradiso are truly awful is only your opinion of the works rattymouse but you cannot actually say that they are. Who can? One person, like you, may think that but another may really like them. I, like a lot of people thought Purgatorio was the best but I would not say the other two were awful, I just didn't like them as much. Edgar put a hell of a lot of his blood, sweat and tears into the whole project and putting Dante's works to music is an enormous task that many a musician couldn't even try to do so I think on that basis alone Edgar should get nothing but praise for his efforts. Whether you like it all or not I think it is an amazing achievement. As a matter of fact I like Inferno more now than I did at the start and that is because listening to the music whilst watching the DVD made it much more impressive, so I hope Edgar eventually releases the other two on DVD also. HAVING SAID ALL THAT THIS IS, BY THE WAY, WELL OFF TOPIC!!!
