ZAP!

[Machiavelli70]

It's named (-) ions because the whole song is about electricity. Danny and Maynard probably found some sheet metal (in orchestral percussion, ornately referred to as a "thunder sheet") and wanted to do something with it. The static zapping sound you hear is two parallellish conducting rods that carry a spark between them (like the ones in Commander Keen). The "(-)" is present because of the reference to electricity -- a negative ion composed of "-" is simply an electron, the basis for electric current.

That guy is so smart... that he missed my Thread about it.

If you listen with headphones, the sound goes from on eear to the other really clearly.

[Windir]

If you have a good stereo with some dolby shit... then you can hear it even more clear.

I have Dolby. This song is almost as fantastic as Third Eye.

Oh yeah, randomly, what would you guys think of Disp/Ref/Third Eye instead of Triad?

[Windir]

It wont sound as great as Disp/Refl/Triad

[Machiavelli70]

I dunno about that -- I think Reflection would go into Third Eye better than it does into Triad, because really Reflection and Triad are just crossfaded, instead of musically segued.

[Windir]

I guess so.
